Typical load examples for RL and RC series and parallel circuits

I have already learned theoretical description of RL and RC circuits and their behavior. But now with a benefit of hindsight I have never truly learned about typical real world loads that have similar ...

Crystal Load capacitors & ESR

In the KSZ8863 datasheet, the crystal specification is given (table 9-3), page 85. Here the ESR is specified to 40ohms with no minimum nor maximum marking. Load capacitance is specified to a max of ...

Loading problem with circuit simulation

EDIT #1 So I understand now the phenomenon that is happening. Taking operational stage 2 Switch is OFF. So there are the 2 cases discussed. RL = ∞ (exaggerated scenario) the current I1 >> I2 ...

Crystal oscillator unbalanced external capacitors

The below lines are from AVR® Microcontroller Hardware Design Considerations (AN2519). "In noisy environments the oscillator can be crucially affected. If the noise is strong enough, the ...

What is the equivalent capacitive load seen by the IC if in a datasheet of a chip CLmax=10nF given and I connect an RC filter as a load?

I have a stupid question where in the quick, the answer does not come into my mind. If in a datasheet of an integrated circuit, a maximum load capacitance is given, e.g. 10nF, and I want to connect an ...

How does this under voltage lockout (UVLO) work?

In my project, I need an under voltage lockout (UVLO) to connect the load electronics to the energy-storage element via a power-gating transistor when the voltage across the supercapacitor exceeds ...

Capacitor Voltage Hold up (During Input Power Interruption)

I want to understand how long a capacitor can provide the stable voltage for a given load current, in the event of an input voltage interruption? Suppose, I have a single 100nF input capacitor at my ...

How does adding a capacitor change the frequency response of this inductive LPF?

I know that a simple circuit like this in an ideal case will have a frequency response of a single pole LPF, where the cutoff frequency is given by: cutoffFreq = 1/(twoPi*L*2R) This is reviewed here....

Voltage increase with capacitor... what's the "true" voltage?

The board on an old battery charger went bad, but the transformer was good. So I've got about a 12.3VDC output when I connect the transformer to a bridge rectifier. However, if I decide to wire in a ...

pwm half bridge inverter- split capacitor voltage alternating

In the half bridge inverter shown below, when driven by a PWM signal, the voltage Va (the voltage in-between the two capacitors C1 and C3) is a sine wave. I was expecting it to be a constant voltage ...

Can I use a capacitive divider to run an AC/DC converter from a higher voltage than its rating?

Suppose I have an AC/DC converter rated to run from 120-240VAC, and I want to run it off 480 VAC. I think I should be able to put two capacitors in series as a voltage divider, and run the converter ...
