[AUDIO ONLY!!]- Mission: Impedance- Hybrid Capacitor Protocol (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 caps struggle with ESR and lifetime, and polymer trades those problems for leakage and vibration concerns, there is a third option you may be overlooking This episode explains how

Bridge Over Troubled Current- Why PFC Exists in the First Place (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 filters, and modern wide-bandgap topologies. It also connects classic PFC design practice with newer digital-control approaches in advanced energy systems. RELATED SOLUTIONS: Wurth Elek
