Electrolytic Capacitor Failure and How it Affects Circuits

Ripple is the unwanted AC component that the capacitor is intended to filter or (smooth) out. On the rising edge of the rectified waveform (in purple), the capacitor charges. On the falling edge, the energy stored in the capacitor supplies enough voltage to the load to tie it over until the next rising edge.

Ripple Current of Capacitor in design consideration

The ripple current (I) is the AC current flowing through the capacitor. Since there is an internal resistance (ESR) in the capacitor, ripple current will generate heat (P) to affect the capacitor life and function. Too much heat may damage the capacitor by exceeding its maximum permitted core temperature. P = I² x ESR Since ripple current vari...

Understanding Power Supply Ripple: Measuring, and Mitigating

The choice of output capacitor significantly affects the ripple magnitude. Capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) can respond quickly to voltage changes, thereby reducing ripple voltage. A higher inductance value tends to minimize the current ripple, which subsequently reduces voltage ripple. The quality of the inductor, especially its core
