Editor’s note: Recently, Tamara Schmitz and Mike Wong of Intersil Corp authored a three-part series in Planet Analog on the basics of bypass capacitors, entitled “Choosing and Using Bypass Capacitors.

A pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal and the RC-charging characteristics of a weighted-capacitor network can be used along with a CMOS Schmitt inverter to generate a pulse whose width is linearly ...

In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

Capacitive sensing as a user input medium is no longer a fringe technology relegated to select products. It is now a mature technology employed in thousands of products and millions of units.
