Simulation of filter circuits and switching controllers with LTspice With LTspice, Linear Technology has developed a high quality freeware SPICE simulator with no limitations on nodes or components and whose command set is largely compatible with other SPICE versions. Here are a few of the software highlights: Comfortable circuit diagram editor Integrated voltage and current probes Efficiency report for switching controller applications Extensive component...
Ferrite equivalent circuitsMost engineers think of ferrite as an inductive component with which coils, transformers, choke etc. can be manufactured. Losses in the material are accepted as an annoyance and best avoided and are seen to mark a limit of the operating frequency range.The theoreticians had the misfortune of choosing an unsuitable model to describe the frequency dependent parameters, which impedes further understanding like...
As the symbol hints the varistor is a voltage dependent resistor. Primarily it is used for taking care of voltage transients of different shapes. Unlike thermistors it has no practical time delay of its function. R 5.3.1 Function and design Just as thermistors the varistor is fabricated from a compressed and sintered powder compound that consists of silicon carbide (SiC) or zinc oxide (ZnO)....

by Ron Demcko AVX Corporation Fellow, USA presented by R.Demcko at the 2nd PCNS 10-13th September 2019, Bucharest, Romania as Keynote 1 and rated by PCNS attendees as the best Keynote presentation Abstract In the past, system power budgets and data/operating speeds were wide and slow respectively. This allowed passive component selection and consideration to occur at the end of the design cycle. Today in...
