Input capacitance estimation for a buck converter

To estimate minimum input capacitance required for a buck converter to help with power stability & noise suppression, I came across below equation by TI. https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt670/slyt670....

Capacitive Signature on CAN Bus Driver SN65VHD230

I'm working on a small custom PCB that uses the TI SN65VHD230 CAN Transceiver and the square waveforms of the CAN bus aren't as clean and crisp as it seems they should be. I have a 10 μF MLCC on the ...

Operation of a simple transistor capacitance multiplier

According to the text, due to the Zener diode, Q1 is supplied with a constant base voltage. Any change in the output voltage is sensed at at the emitter of Q1 which brings a change in the forward bias ...

Standard 12 Volt DC fan for PC: how much AC ripple can support? Does ripple increase noise?

I want to know which is the mechanical effect to run a DC 12V brushless common fan with a very basic and poor power supply (just a diode plus a low value capacitor, no regulation at all). In principle,...

How do you identify what capacitor to use to filter DC voltage ripples from a bridge rectifier? (capacitance, etc.)

Let's say I have reduced 220V 60Hz AC to 1.5V 750mA AC with a step-down transformer and used a bridge rectifier consisting of 4 IN4007 diodes to convert it to DC. How do I math this down?

Choosing appropriate capacitor value from ripple

I have a H-bridge driving a 12V motor that at 100% duty cycle draws around 15A. To start the motor I am applying a soft-start, the duty cycle of PWM to H-bridge goes from around 60% to 100% and PWM ...
