6 FAQs about [Low Voltage Capacitor Selection Criteria]

What parameters should be included in the selection of output capacitors?

The most important parameters are the magnitude of the load transient (ΔI) and the distributed bus impedance to the load. The selection of the output capacitors is determined by the allowable peak voltage deviation (ΔV). This limit should reflect the actual requirements, and should not be specified lower than needed.

How to select input capacitors?

The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors. Ceramic capacitors placed right at the input of the regulator reduce ripple voltage amplitude.

How do I choose a capacitor?

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the amount and type of capacitance can vary. The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors.

What factors should be considered when selecting a capacitor?

These factors must be considered when selecting a capacitor for many bypassing applications or where the actual value of the capacitor is important. Choosing the wrong capacitor can lead to circuit instability, excessive noise or power dissipation, shortened product life, or unpredictable circuit behavior.

What is a low-voltage dry-type alternating current (AC) power capacitor?

Does output capacitor selection meet non-Intel processor requirements?

Analytical and experimental results show that output capacitors selection is optimized for load transient and output impedance, to fulfill non-Intel processor requirements.
