31. Anatomy Of And Stencil Design Recommendations For Our DLI Brand Filters 4/26/2023

    To get a better understanding of how to incorporate your DLI brand filter into your device, let’s first look at the anatomy of the filters.

32. Selecting Capacitors For High-Voltage X-Ray Power Supplies 4/13/2023

    X-ray power supply design must be carefully thought through. If not correctly designed, there can be serious consequences ranging from deteriorated image quality to the release of excessive radiation that can be harmful to a patient.

33. What are Flying Capacitors? 3/16/2023

    As demand for high-efficiency and high-power-density inverters continues to grow, the so-called “flying” capacitor multilevel inverter is emerging as a strong choice for many power electronics systems.

34. The DC Bias Phenomenon Explained 2/27/2023

    When selecting an MLCC for your design, even when you know the rated capacitance for the MLCC, to ensure long-term reliability, you must be aware of and consider the impacts of DC bias on your device.

35. What Is X2Y And Why Would I Use It? 1/26/2023

    Using X2Y technology, Knowles Precision Devices manufactures high-performance MLCCs that we then use to create a variety of off-the-shelf and custom bypass and noise decoupling capacitors and EMI filters.
