The Tiny Vibrating Disk That Wants to Evict the Power Inductor
A piezoelectric-resonator DC/DC converter reached 96.2% peak efficiency from 48 V to 4.8 V, hinting at a future where some power inductors face a thin, vibrating alternative.

AI and GPU power delivery is moving closer to the silicon as thin-film magnetic inductors enter the package, challenging the old board-level playbook for high-current conversion.
High-density USB PD and GaN chargers are pushing input capacitors to their limits—and the industry is quietly hoping nobody notices before the next generation of devices ships.
From power factor correction to grid-scale energy storage, the humble capacitor is quietly undergoing its most significant reinvention in decades.
The 1212 package size was considered too small to be practical just five years ago. Vishay’s IHLP1212-EZ-1Z series is rewriting what’s possible in space-constrained commercial electronics.
Differential capacitance sensors power everything from pressure transducers to displacement detectors. The interface circuit design is where most engineers quietly give up—and where the best ones dist…
Stop-band impedance variation in filters is the kind of problem that looks academic until your power converter starts oscillating unpredictably. Here’s why it matters more than most engineers re…
Smarter charging technology, better battery management, and advanced power conversion are reshaping the EV charging landscape—and capacitors are at the center of each transformation.
KYOCERA AVX’s new rail-grade DC filtering capacitors bring higher power density and reliability to mass transit power systems, drawing on technology originally developed for consumer and industr…
