Abstract: Electrolytic capacitors are notorious for short lifetimes in high-temperature applications such as LED light bulbs. The careful selection of these devices with proper interpretation of their ...

There were a couple of comments in the Samsung LED light teardown that I wanted to highlight in a separate blog post so that they didn’t get lost in the comments thread. The first was alluded to by ...

A small LED angle on this one – AVX has developed what it claims is the first 63V and 75V single-anode tantalum polymer capacitors, writes Richard Wilson. The capacitors feature reduced ignition ...

Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. introduces the Polyacene Capacitors (Supercap) PAS2126FR2R5504, measuring 26 mm x 20 mm with a maximum height of 0.9 mm. Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. introduces the Polyacene Capacitors ...

Discover how to build a simple device that converts light into electricity using LEDs and diodes. This step-by-step guide demonstrates assembling an LED-diode cluster, connecting it to a capacitor for ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

A novel high power factor, soft-switched Light Emitting Diode (LED) driver without electrolytic capacitors is proposed in this paper. A novel high power factor, soft-switched Light Emitting Diode (LED ...

Schematic and operation of a capacitorless active-matrix micro-LED pixel, where a single memristor (1M) substitutes both the storage capacitor and the driving TFT. The compact 1M cell can be ...
