When a DC/DC output stage needs bulk
capacitance, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are often the default
choice. But what happens when ripple current pushes you into
paralleling multiple capacitors, lifetime calculations come up
short, or ESR becomes the design problem instead of the design
solution? While electrolytic...

In this episode, we break down what Power
Factor Correction (PFC) is actually doing inside an offline power
supply. We will explain why bridge-rectifier front ends create
distorted input current, how active boost PFC reshapes that
waveform, and what engineers need to know about conduction modes,
interleaving, EMI...

Simulation tools can make the difference
between a slow, iterative power design process and a faster, more
confident workflow. In this episode, Würth Elektronik and
STMicroelectronics discuss how REDEXPERT and eDesignSuite help
engineers improve component selection, compare performance results,
and reduce debugging...
