Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a current-source parallel resonant Class E inverter with low peak switch current. The proposed circuit consists of two switches, a parallel resonant circuit, a capacitor, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a parallel resonant converter for high input voltage applications. In order to reduce the voltage stress of active switches, two half-bridge converters are connected in ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

In the previous articles, we assumed that the descriptions of DC/DC converters were ideal, neglecting the effect of parasitic elements. Thus, it is important to note that inductors have capacitive and ...

ABSTRACT: A novel high-power-factor Buck type converter with average current control based on UC 3854 is proposed. The input current is directly controlled by average current control scheme to deliver ...
