SuperCapacitors in Enterprise Servers and Smart Meters Written By: Jacky Cui | John Lee Abstract: The supercapacitor is one alternative to the traditional electrochemical battery for storing energy. In the age of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, supercapacitors offer many attractive properties that no other device can deliver. At a high level, supercapacitors are composed of electrodes, an electrolyte, and an ion-permeable separator.
Surface Mount Thermal Conductors for Heat Management Written By: Jern Ng Abstract: Efforts to miniaturize electronics are becoming increasingly common as designers work to fit more components into smaller packages, offering low-weight, low-volume products. The continuous march toward electronic miniaturization brings to light one primary challenge: the dissipation of heat. As semiconductor manufacturing realizes smaller feature sizes, microprocessor capability is simultaneously advancing with greater functionality.

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Use in Three-Phase BLDC Motor Controllers Written By: Ron Demcko | Slavomir Pala Abstract: The uses of industrial control systems and robotics are expanding rapidly due to their positive impact on costs and quality. This paper will discuss Aluminum Electrolytic capacitor roles as an output filter capacitor to improve power quality in Brushless DC Motor (BLDC) motor controller & drives. Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors can be used to provide exacting drive voltage to motors. This in turn improves system reliability and performance. The case studied will be a 3-phase, 24V / 30 watt BLDC motor with a rated speed of 4000rpm and rated torque of 0.072 N-m.
Demystifying Antenna Systems for IoT & 5G Tuesday, September 20, 2022 | 1:30 PM Eastern Time 5G is a broad term used to describe the next generation of wireless communications. Like previous generations of wireless (e.g. 3G, 4G, LTE), 5G supports the requirements of such previous generations, extends and enhances capabilities, and offers new, enabling features for various applications and markets. Whereas 3G and 4G standards have been developed with a key focus on significantly increasing the data rate, the 5G standard for sub-6GHz focuses on latency issues and massive connection challenges that appeared with the development of IoT. This webinar will help participants understand the requirements for IoT & 5G antennas and how to choose the right antenna
