SMPS powered DC motor inrush current problem

I stumbled upon a problem when connecting a DC motor to a SMPS. It's a 20W AC/DC converter with an 12V output that powers some 12V DC motors the processor and some LEDs. I needed to speed up the most ...

For calculating inrush current in a ceramic capacitor , do we need to consider the effective capacitance after derating for dc-bias effect?

Inrush current happens when capacitor is initially charged from 0V to the intended rail voltage. What should be the effective capacitance to be considered during this charging? -Since the voltage ...

Is there something called as inrush current at the output of the DC-DC regulator or LDO

I am using this LDO to step down from 14V to 5V with a maximum output load current of 150mA. The above is the schematic of my LDO. I want to measure the inrush current of the LDO. But since I have an ...
