6 FAQs about [Capacitor performance varies greatly]

What are the performance parameters of a capacitor?

What are the real-world considerations of a capacitor?

Real-World Considerations: Parasitic Resistance: Even in the most ideal circuit, there will always be some resistance, whether it’s from the wires, the internal resistance of the voltage source, or the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the capacitor itself.

Why are capacitors important?

Capacitors are critical elements in most analog and digital electronic circuits. One of the limitation – the power dissipated by a capacitor is a function of ripple current and ESR equivalent series resistance. As such, the ripple current capability is one of the key parameters to consider when selecting a capacitor for a specific application.

What are the impedance characteristics of a capacitor?

In most data sheets, the impedance characteristics of a capacitor are usually provided in form of performance curves. Dissipation factor (tanδ) This electrical parameter describes the relationship between the effective power and the reactive power when a sinusoidal voltage is applied to a component.

How to choose a capacitor for a specific application?

As such, the ripple current capability is one of the key parameters to consider when selecting a capacitor for a specific application. In most electronic devices, the DC current signal applied to a circuit has an AC portion. This AC portion is referred to as the ripple current.

What are leakage current characteristics of a capacitor?

In most data sheets, the leakage current characteristics of a capacitor are provided in form of performance curves. Ripple current A current flow through a device when an AC voltage is applied, and it is equivalent to the root-mean-square value of the pulsating current.
