According to precedence, MOSFET datasheets show output capacitance at a single measured voltage. While these values were good enough for relative comparison between products in the past, it is ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: A bidirectional buck/boost converter combined with a supercapacitor can generate peak pulse currents for battery-operated smart meters and provide backup power for line ...

Designers often use chargers with flyback topologies to quickly charge energy-storage capacitors (references 1 and 2). In a flyback topology, the energy transfer takes place only when the charger’s ...

There was a recent news item regarding a teenager's project to use a super capacitor as a quick-charging energy storage device. The primary claim is that this could be used to fully charge a phone in ...
