With the increasing popularity of MLCCs (or ceramic capacitors) in electronic circuits due to their low cost and low profile, their inherent piezoelectric effect exhibiting audible noise can become a ...
A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
When designers think of passive components, they think of manufacturing tolerances for inductors and capacitors that are typically ± 20% or ± 10%. That's okay in theory, but not when these components ...
