I forgot a lot of this stuff from my undergrad. Thanks for such a great refresher!

[@FoolishEngineer]

You're so welcome!

I've always had trouble with electronics and they don't teach everything in the class, so I have to rely on KZbin videos to help me out. This one definitely solved some confusions and misunderstandings! THANKS A LOT!!!

[@FoolishEngineer]

Happy to help!

[@anuragmahajan5919]

Awesome video, I didn't know that the dynamic loads caused current spikes even if the input is pure DC, although it may seem obvious, we forget such minor but important details while dealing with projects where the requirements are stringent (For ex: Instrumentation), I'd say it's a trap for beginners and hobbyists, keep making such videos, they are very helpful!

I always wondered why do we add both electrolytic and ceramic capacitors at the same tyme as bypass capacitors, even though the net capacitance wasn't much changed. I only thought in terms of capacitance value and not the different properties of these two different types of capacitors . But well, i got the answer now. Thank you Foolish Engineer.

I have a question about boostrap capacitor on the egs002 module a valve of 22pf 25 v rating is use but when I measure the voltage from the high side the voltage is 230 volt the same as the h bridge switching voltage how comes the gate voltage is the same and igbt capacitor have rating of 30 volt max but the boostrap capacitor charge up 230 volt with a 25 volt valve capacitor and the circuit don’t blow up explain

[@mateoslab]

Thank you so much for this video, great animations. How can I calculate the value of the decoupling capacitor? Does it need to be in resonance with the noise frequency?

[@FoolishEngineer]

You will have to measure the frequency of the noise and accordingly, you will have to select a capacitor which has very low ESR at that particular frequency. But this is a very tedious process, you can read the datasheet of the component which you are using they might have suggested the Decaps for their chip

[@sridharchitta7321]

The current (sinusoidal steady-state) in a capacitor is due to the resultant electric field E_net (resultant of the applied field and an opposing electric field, the fringe field). If the capacitance of the capacitor C is made large, then the fringe field does not build as fast as it would have if C were to be smaller. With a large C, the charge sprays on the plates do not result in developing a large voltage in a given interval of time as evident from the capacitor voltage-charge relation Q = CV. The fringe field is smaller and the net field consequently is greater. Therefore, at a fixed frequency, the current increases as the size of the capacitor is increased. The current also increases as the frequency is increased. So, we say it passes higher frequencies of applied voltage. If the frequency is made smaller, the fringe field builds very rapidly and in the limit when it is dc, it blocks the applied voltage. If a resistor R is connected to the capacitor then the resistor limited current is not enough to dump charge fast enough at such high frequencies and of sufficient quantity to produce any significant opposing fringe field. Therefore, for a given RC combination the output voltage picked across the resistor is able to reproduce the input signal with less attenuation. We say that the capacitor bypasses the high frequencies …..in reality, the electric field of the input voltage passes “through” the capacitor with almost no opposition. This makes the capacitor useful as a coupling capacitor for ac signals in amplifiers and also as an emitter bypass capacitor in transistors that will afford larger output swings by reducing the amount of ac signal feedback without affecting stabilising dc feedback. It is not possible in this post to discuss in more detail current in capacitor circuits and capacitive reactance. Electrostatics and circuits belong to one science not two. To learn the operation of circuits, Current and the conduction process, resistors and how discussing these topics makes it easier to understand the principle of superposition of potential which is a direct consequence of the principle of superposition applied to electric fields, watch these two videos i. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioXXpWVul5aXj9E and ii. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnO0fpKurJeFnNE The last frame of video 1 contains in the References articles and textbooks which discuss the unified approach. Sections 3.1 to 3.3 in Chapter 3 of textbook 4 discuss the operation of the RC coupling circuit with sequential diagrams using the unified approach. Also, Section 3.6 in Chapter 3 of textbook 4 discusses the operation of the bypass capacitor tied across the emitter resistor using the unified approach with the help of sequential diagrams in a transistorised common-emitter amplifier.

How does one determine the noise frequencies, so that the proper bypass capacitance values can be calculated?

[@MrPageplayer]

In DC eq circuit using electrolytic bypass caps, can I use a pair of 470uf caps in place off off 330uf of same voltage. If so, what changes may I notice?

[@FoolishEngineer]

Yes you can!!!! your ripple will be lower as compared to the 330uF cap, but the ESR of the caps increases as you increase the capacitance value, but it will not differ much.

[@modouantaseck7111]

Nice presentation, quick question, you highlighted that for the low-frequency noise a "large electrolyte cap can be use" also a large ceramic capacitor (like 10µF) can be used as well right? thanks

[@FoolishEngineer]

Yes

[@abegafouda9136]

Well explained. Thanks. My question : I have a schematics with 2 x 1000μF in parallel. Why not one single 2000 ? Thanks for your reply.

[@FoolishEngineer]

if you use 2 caps in series then ESR of the total capacitor decreases, which decreases the power losses.

[@convictednotconvinced]

Do you think this is a good way for noise reduction when dealing AC 120 60Hz noise? Often times when I work with controls circuits that share long runs of conduit the hots will introduce 60 Hz noise on unpowered circuits. I like to use caps to bleed the noise to ground but people think I'm nuts. Why does the cap need to be close to the load?

[@FoolishEngineer]

Yes you can use capacitors in the AC but please make sure you are using non-polarized capacitors.

[@WistrelChianti]

I hope this helps and is taken in the right way. If I block you in a passageway I impede your movement. The spelling is ped but the pronunciation is peed (like pee/urinate), the e on the end signifies this modifcation from the short "eh" to long "eee" sound for the proceeding vowel. So when saying this word say it like impeedence. When you were saying impedence I kept thinking you were saying impotence :D which is something else entirely!

[@RobertoPietrafesa]

Great explanations and great animations, my friend: congrats from Italy. A question: I'm using Si5351A, an I2C-PROGRAMMABLE ANY-FREQUENCY CMOS clock generator. The datasheet says: "All that is recommended is one 0.1 to 1.0 μF decoupling capacitor per power supply pin". So, to stay in the middle, I chose a 0.47 μF (0603 SMD) ceramic capacitor (my system works @ 3,3V) and put it two millimeters close to IC. I will use IC to generate clock at 14 MHz. How may I do to know if that value is good for my purposes? Thank you so much.

[@FoolishEngineer]

I can not comment whether the value is good or bad, there is only one way to check it out- to test it. I would suggest to put the provision of 2 capacitors apart from selected cap on the PCB and don't populate right away, if you see the noise levels are high, just add one or two caps in parallel of different value and preferably package also.

[@RobertoPietrafesa]

@@FoolishEngineer Thank you so much, gentleman!

[@denishraju]

Great Video. I have a question: I don't know any one else who could help me with this. If i have a PWM source , and lets say i want to convert it to Analogue voltage. How can it do it without affecting the PWM source?

[@FoolishEngineer]

You can use just a capacitor to get the average voltage of PWM but it will surely affect the PWM, I would suggest you use a DAC.

[@anuragmahajan5919]

You could use an RC low pass filter and then use a suitable OPAMP as a buffer. Even very small capacitance values in pF and nF range at the output of an OPAMP can cause instability problems, so first use the Low Pass filter and then the OPAMP
