6 FAQs about [Why capacitors and power supply voltage]

What is the purpose of capacitors on the output of a power supply?

One purpose of capacitors on the output of a power supply is to attenuate undesired electrical noise as the power is delivered to the external load. Another purpose of capacitors on the output of a power supply is to minimize the change in output voltage due to the occurrence of load current transients.

Why are capacitors placed across power supply terminals?

Based upon our discussion it should now be understood that capacitors are often placed across the power supply terminals at the load to reduce the voltage excursions caused by load current transients and the finite bandwidth response of the power supply.

How does a capacitive power supply work?

A capacitive power supply usually has a rectifier and filter to generate a direct current from the reduced alternating voltage. Such a supply comprises a capacitor, C1 whose reactance limits the current flowing through the rectifier bridge D1. A resistor, R1, connected in series with it protects against voltage spikes during switching operations.

What is the role of a capacitor?

As one of the passive components of the capacitor, its role is nothing more than the following: 1. When a capacitor is used in power supply circuits, its major function is to carry out the role of bypass, decoupling, filtering and energy storage. Filtering is an important part of the role of capacitors. It is used in almost all power circuits.

What causes a current to flow into a capacitor?

Also relating to the output capacitance, the output voltage change during the start-up of a power supply also appears as a dV/dt event across the terminals of the capacitor and thus causes a current to flow into the capacitor.

What type of capacitor should a power supply use?

The value and type of capacitor used will depend upon the bandwidth of the power supply, the magnitude of the load transient, the frequency components of the load transient, and the acceptable level of voltage excursion caused by the load transients.
