Selection of capacitor voltage level

Capacitance is the electrical property of a capacitor. So, it is the number one consideration in capacitor selection. How much capacitance you need? Well, it depends to your application. If you are going to filter output a rectified voltage, then you need a larger capacitance for sure. However, if the capacitor is only.

6 FAQs about [Selection of capacitor voltage level]

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 to choose a capacitor?

A capacitor with an appropriate ripple current and working voltage rating should be chosen. Polarity and Reverse Voltage – If an electrolyte capacitor is used in the circuit, it must be connected in the correct direction. Its reverse voltage rating should be at least twice the possible reverse voltage in that branch of the circuit.

What are the selection considerations of output capacitors?

This application note describes the selection considerations of output capacitors, based on load transient and output impedance of processors power rails. Presently, there are no specific tools available for non-Intel processor output capacitors selection in multiphase designs.

Can a capacitor be installed in series?

Though there are few cases to install a capacitor in series. In my designs, I am not allowing to a voltage stress of more than 75%. This means, if the actual circuit voltage is 10V, the minimum capacitor voltage I will select is 13.33V (10V/0.75). However, there is no such voltage. So, I will go to the next higher level that is 16V.

What should a capacitor's voltage rating be?

Apart from nominal capacitance, the voltage rating is the second most important parameter that must be essentially factored in. The capacitor’s voltage rating should always be at least 1.5 times or twice the maximum voltage it may encounter in the circuit. Capacitors are not as reliable as resistors.

How do you select the output capacitors for a fast transient?

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. The distribution bus impedance seen by the load is the parameter that determines the peak voltage deviation during a fast transient.
