Voltage multiplier circuit forms a fundamental building block in high-voltage power supplies where the output voltage must be several times greater than the peak input voltage, yet the load current required is relatively small. Instead of using high-turn-ratio transformers which are large, expensive, and limited by insulation and core saturation constraints engineers often implement multipliers […]

Ceramic vs Electrolytic Capacitor: Key Differences and Applications
Introduction: In electronic circuit design or repair, selecting the right capacitor is critical to performance and reliability. Ceramic and electrolytic capacitors are two of the most commonly used capacitor types, each suited for distinct applications due to their differing structures and electrical characteristics. Understanding their key differences – including capacitance range, frequency response, polarity requirements, […]
Types of Capacitors with Symbol, Classification and Applications
This guide provides an in-depth look at various types of capacitors, their Symbol, construction, working principles, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. Capacitors are essential components in electronic circuits, serving a wide range of applications such as energy storage, filtering, timing, and coupling. They are classified into three main categories: Fixed Capacitors, Variable Capacitors, and Special Purpose […]
