Agenda

Capacitor Design & Characteristics

For each component type we will discuss the materials used in the design, how differences in construction techniques affect their performance, and important characteristics to consider in your design.

• Ceramic Capacitors
• Polymer Capacitors
• Tantalum Capacitors
• Film X&Y and Power Film Capacitors
• AC Line Filter
• Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
• Filters

Application Areas

Applying the information learn in the previous sections, discussions focus on how to apply those characteristics to real-world applications.

• Parasitics in Capacitors
• Dielectric Comparison
• X2 Suppression Capacitors
• AC Line Filters
• Self Heating
• Film versus Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
• Tantalum Capacitors versus Polymer Capacitors and MLCC’s
• K-SIM
• Self Resonance Frequency
• End of Life Calculations
• Filters and Power Factor Correction
