  2. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  3. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

    After a brief sampling period, the capacitors will hold a charge equal to their respective capacitance times V in (and minus the offset voltage upon each of them), so the array holds a total charge of 2C·V in. Hold: The capacitors are then switched to ground. This provides the comparator's negative input with a voltage of −V in.

  4. Sample and hold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_and_hold

    A typical sample and hold circuit stores electric charge in a capacitor and contains at least one switching device such as a FET (field effect transistor) switch and normally one operational amplifier. [2] To sample the input signal, the switch connects the capacitor to the output of a buffer amplifier. The buffer amplifier charges or ...

  5. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Marx generator diagrams; Although the left capacitor has the greatest charge rate, the generator is typically allowed to charge for a long period of time, and all capacitors eventually reach the same charge voltage. The circuit generates a high-voltage pulse by charging a number of capacitors in parallel, then suddenly connecting them in series ...

  6. Voltage multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier

    The term n(n+1) U f represents the sum of voltage losses caused by diodes, over all capacitors on the output side (i.e. on the right side in the example ‒ C 2 and C 4). For example if we have 2 stages like in the example, the total loss is 2+4 = 2*(2+1) = 6 times U f .

  7. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    The standardized measuring condition for electrolytic capacitors is an AC measuring method with 0.5 V at a frequency of 100/120 Hz at a temperature of 20 °C. For tantalum capacitors a DC bias voltage of 1.1 to 1.5 V for types with a rated voltage ≤2.5 V, or 2.1 to 2.5 V for types with a rated voltage of >2.5 V, may be applied during the ...

  8. Switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor

    The simplest switched-capacitor (SC) circuit is made of one capacitor and two switches S 1 and S 2 which alternatively connect the capacitor to either in or out at a switching frequency of . Recall that Ohm's law can express the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance as:

  9. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    They are made with capacitance values from 0.1 μF up to 2,700,000 μF (2.7 F), [1] and voltage ratings ranging from 4 V up to 630 V. [2] The liquid electrolyte provides oxygen for re-forming or "self-healing" of the dielectric oxide layer. However, it can evaporate through a temperature-dependent drying-out process, which causes electrical ...
