All electrical and electronic devices require access to a suitable energy source. In a portable
electronic product, such as a cell phone, an energy storage unit drives a complex array of …

Approximate efficiency of a linear regulator is given by the ratio of regulated output voltage
to input voltage. Higher voltage difference between the input and the output means a lower …

Electrical physics text book theory tells us that charging a capacitor is much less efficient
than replenishing the energy in a discharged electro-chemical battery. If a fully discharged …

SCs can be used in many different ways to develop unique application circuits and to
address traditional circuit issues, such as energy efficiency in linear dc-dc converters …

Supercapacitor assisted low dropout regulators (SCALDO) were proposed as an alternative
design approach to DC-DC converters, where the supercapacitor circulation frequency …

Energy efficiency is a main requirement in power converters used in domestic electrical
goods including lighting. Using DC at home and DC-microgrids are relatively new concepts …

Cleaner and greener energy sources have proliferated on a worldwide basis, creating
distributed energy systems. Given the unreliable nature of the renewable sources such as …

When an ideal voltage source is used to replenish an electro-chemical battery with an open
circuit voltage of V and a charge of Q coulombs, it stores an energy of QV in the battery, if the …

Supercapacitors are approximately one million times bigger than the conventional
electrolytic capacitors, and, they come with one order lower equivalent series resistances …

The Supercapacitor-assisted low-dropout (SCALDO) regulator is a unique new DC-DC
converter design approach with high end-to-end efficiency (ETEE), where a supercapacitor …
