The 1212 package size was considered too small to be practical just five years ago. Vishay’s IHLP1212-EZ-1Z series is rewriting what’s possible in space-constrained commercial electronics.
Differential capacitance sensors power everything from pressure transducers to displacement detectors. The interface circuit design is where most engineers quietly give up—and where the best ones dist…
Stop-band impedance variation in filters is the kind of problem that looks academic until your power converter starts oscillating unpredictably. Here’s why it matters more than most engineers re…
Smarter charging technology, better battery management, and advanced power conversion are reshaping the EV charging landscape—and capacitors are at the center of each transformation.
KYOCERA AVX’s new rail-grade DC filtering capacitors bring higher power density and reliability to mass transit power systems, drawing on technology originally developed for consumer and industr…
EMIS’s new EMI filter for high-field MRI systems addresses one of the most demanding electromagnetic environments in medical imaging—and the design constraints are nothing like typical industria…
ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries have now been deployed in data center backup power applications exceeding 2GW of aggregate capacity—a quiet milestone that reflects a broader shift in how the in…
Sixteen new 200V FRED Pt ultrafast recovery diodes from Vishay in a compact DFN6546A package are targeting power supply, solar, and EV applications where every millimeter of board space counts.
