Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered the means by which a polymer known as PVDF enables capacitors to store and release large amounts of energy quickly. Their findings could ...

Intended for motor crankshaft applications using ring magnets, the ac-coupled A1425 analog speed sensor uses an on-chip tracking capacitor to ensure precise operation. The device switches output when ...

Worcester, Mass. — Eliminating the need for an external switching capacitor, Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has launched a new analog self-calibrating speed sensor that integrates a tracking capacitor for ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC introduces a new Hall-effect based integrated circuit (IC) that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed digital ring magnet and gear tooth sensing in two-wire ...

Restrikes or re-ignitions occur when the dielectric strength of the open gap, during contact parting, is not great enough to withstand the recovery voltage across the open gap. With a capacitive load, ...
