2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...

Capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the ability of a capacitor to store the maximum electrical charge (Q) in its body. C = Q/V = ε A/d = ε0 εr A/d The ability of a capacitor to store maximum ...

This charge-pump circuit, using just a few diodes and capacitors, ups the input voltage by a factor of 1.5 in contrast to the usual voltage-doubling output. Micropower product designs sometimes ...

Understand how capacitors charge and discharge with this simple, visual explanation. Learn the key concepts of capacitor behavior, voltage, and current over time, making it easy to grasp fundamental ...

Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...

FLEXICHARGE FC1500 is designed to deliver highly efficient programmable capacitor charging power up to 1.5 kW and 1kV and also has a built in AC-DC configurable power supply providing up to 800 watts ...
