1. The structure and characteristics of a capacitor designed for potential are suitable for the conductor, and the conductor is charged. However, at the same potential, the amount of charge contained in a conductor varies with its own structure.

2. The ability of a conductor to hold charge is known as the capacitance of a PCB design. Typically, the charge ( Q ) (in Coulombs) in a conductor is proportional to its potential ( V ) (in Volts, relative to the earth). Thus, ( Q = CV ), where ( C ) is the capacitance of the conductor in PCB design.

3. The unit of capacitance in PCB design is the Farad (F).

4. In SMT patch processing, an insulating medium is inserted between two parallel metal plates, and the wire electrode forms a capacitor designed by PCB.

5. PCB design involves creating a printed circuit board based on the circuit schematic to achieve the functions required by the circuit designer. This includes layout design and consideration of external connections.

6. Circuit symbols denote the capacitance of both polar and non-polar PCB designs. When a PCB capacitor is charged, the charge accumulates on the bipolar plates of the capacitor.

7. A PCB capacitor with capacitance ( C ) is represented by a constant current intensity ( I ). Assuming the capacitor is initially uncharged (i.e., the initial voltage across the capacitor is zero), we use the definition of current: the amount of charge passing through the cross-section of the conductor per unit time is the current intensity, which applies to the PCB capacitor.

1. Therefore, the charge flowing through the cross-section of the conductor per unit time is known as current intensity.

2. The current intensity is related to the capacitance of the PCB design and the capacitance C of the PCB design. Under a constant current intensity I, the voltage V across the PCB capacitor increases linearly with time. The higher the voltage across the PCB capacitor, the more charge it holds, and the greater the energy storage. However, the insulating medium between the capacitor’s plates in the PCB design has its limits. If the electric field strength exceeds these limits, the insulating medium may break down, causing a short circuit. Therefore, it is essential to balance the voltage and resistance of capacitors in PCB designs.

3. Conclusion: The PCB capacitor functions to store electric charge in the circuit, serving as an energy storage component. It has a long energy storage time and maintains a constant voltage across its terminals. Larger capacitance in PCB design allows for greater energy storage. The capacitance and voltage resistance are the two most crucial parameters in PCB design.

4. The RC charging and discharging circuit can be represented by the RC charging and discharging model. Assuming an initial capacitor voltage of zero and switch K connected, the power supply charges the PCB capacitor through resistor R. The maximum charging current is E/R. Initially, if the charging current continues at this rate, the voltage VC rises linearly. However, as VC increases, the charging current IC gradually decreases, and VC rises more slowly until it reaches the power supply voltage E, at which point the charging current becomes zero. This results in an exponential rise in VC over time t, expressed by the time constant.

5. It is observed that a larger series resistance R results in a smaller charging current and a longer charging time. Similarly, a larger capacitance C requires more power (i.e., more energy storage) and extends the charging time.

6. When the PCB capacitor is fully charged, VC equals E. Upon turning on switch K, the discharge current through resistor R decreases gradually. Optimizing the layout of internal electronic components, metal connections, and through holes, along with electromagnetic protection and heat dissipation, can improve circuit performance and reduce production costs.
