Capacitive sensors are PIC® MCU pins connected to an area of conductive material through an optional series resistor. As the environment changes around the sensor, the capacitance of the conductive ...

Dialog Semiconductor has announced a 10A switched-capacitor voltage divide-by-two, that operates at up to 98% efficiency, hitting or exceeding 95% at 10A. Called DA9313, it can deliver over 50W from ...

Helix Semiconductors’ HS200 DC-DC MuxCapacitor Power IC is a new type of voltage divider that can play an integral role in a distributed power architecture (DPA) system. It provides a high-efficiency ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...

When we do textbook analysis, we tend to ignore the real-world concerns for the sake of learning. So, a typical theoretical voltage divider is simply two resistors. But if you examine a low-pass RC ...

There are a number of reasons why an engineer would want to “split” a voltage rail in their design. Sometimes parts of the circuit, like a sensor or an IC, require a bipolar supply. Other reasons are ...
