Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

There aren’t many concepts in the entire sphere of electronics that are quite as fundamental as the RC time constant. The initialism standing for “resistor-capacitor”, the RC time constant is a ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...
