Capacitors are essential energy storage components in electronic circuits. They are characterized by their ability to block DC signals, pass AC signals, and filter low-frequency components. Capacitors are widely used in coupling, blocking, bypassing, filtering, tuning, energy conversion, and automatic control circuits. Understanding the different types of capacitors and their functions can help us interpret electronic circuit diagrams more effectively.
- Filter Capacitor: Connected between the positive and negative terminals of a DC power supply, this capacitor filters out unwanted AC components from the DC supply and smooths the DC voltage. Typically, large electrolytic capacitors are used, with smaller capacitors also included to filter out high-frequency AC components.
- Decoupling Capacitor: Placed in parallel between the power supply’s positive and negative terminals in amplifier circuits, this capacitor prevents parasitic oscillations caused by positive feedback from the power supply’s internal resistance.
- Bypass Capacitor: In circuits with both AC and DC signals, this capacitor is placed in parallel across resistors or between specific points to provide a path for AC or pulse signals, preventing attenuation due to voltage drop through resistance.
- Coupling Capacitor: Used in AC signal processing circuits, this capacitor connects the signal source to the processing circuit, allowing AC signals to pass while blocking DC, thereby preventing interaction between the DC operating points of adjacent amplifier stages.
- Tuning Capacitor: Connected across the oscillating coil in a resonance circuit, this capacitor helps select the oscillating frequency.
- Pad Capacitor: A series capacitor in a resonance circuit, which can adjust the oscillation frequency range, particularly enhancing low-frequency oscillations. Proper selection of this capacitor can improve the low-end frequency response, making it closer to the ideal frequency curve.
- Compensation Capacitor: An auxiliary capacitor in parallel with the main capacitor of a resonance circuit, adjusting this component expands the oscillation signal’s frequency range.
- Neutralizing Capacitor: Connected in parallel between the base and emitter of a transistor amplifier, this capacitor forms a negative feedback loop to suppress oscillations caused by the transistor’s internal capacitances.
- Frequency Stabilization Capacitor: In oscillating circuits, this capacitor stabilizes the frequency of oscillations.
- Timing Capacitor: Connected in series with a resistor in an RC circuit, this capacitor determines the charge and discharge time, setting the circuit’s timing characteristics.
- Acceleration Capacitor: Positioned in an oscillator feedback loop, this capacitor accelerates the positive feedback process, increasing the amplitude of the oscillating signal.
- Shortening Capacitor: Used in UHF tuner circuits, this capacitor is connected in series with the oscillating inductor to reduce the effective length of the inductor.
- Carat Capacitor: In a three-point oscillation circuit, this series capacitor with the inductive coil helps eliminate the impact of the transistor junction capacitance on frequency stability.
- Thira Capacitor: In a three-point oscillation circuit, this parallel capacitor helps mitigate the effects of transistor junction capacitance and facilitates easier startup at high frequencies.
- Amplitude Stabilization Capacitor: Used in frequency discriminators to stabilize the amplitude of the output signal.
- Pre-emphasis Capacitor: This capacitor increases the capacitance in an RC network to compensate for attenuation and loss in the frequency division during audio modulation signal processing.
- De-emphasis Capacitor: In an RC network, this capacitor reduces the high-frequency components that were previously boosted by pre-emphasis, along with the associated noise, to restore the original sound signal.
- Phase-shifting Capacitor: A capacitor used to alter the phase of an AC signal.
- Feedback Capacitor: A capacitor placed between the input and output of an amplifier, which feeds the output signal back into the input.
- Step-down Current-limiting Capacitor: In an AC power circuit, this capacitor limits the current using capacitive reactance, forming a voltage divider.
- Flyback Capacitor: Used in the line scan output circuit, this capacitor is connected between the collector and emitter of the line output tube to generate high-voltage sawtooth wave pulses for line scanning. Its voltage rating is typically over 1500V.
- Correction Capacitor: This series capacitor in the deflection coil circuit helps correct linear distortion at the edges of the picture tube.
- Bootstrap Boost Capacitor: Using the capacitor’s charge and discharge characteristics, this capacitor boosts the potential at a circuit point, making it twice the supply voltage.
- Brightening Point Capacitor: In video amplifier circuits, this capacitor eliminates residual bright spots on the picture tube when the power is turned off.
- Soft-start Capacitor: Often connected to the base of a switching tube in a switching power supply, this capacitor prevents excessive surge current or voltage from damaging the tube during power-up.
- Starting Capacitor: This series capacitor provides phase-shifted AC voltage to start a single-phase motor. It is disconnected once the motor reaches normal operation.
- Running Capacitor: Connected in series with a single-phase motor’s secondary winding, this capacitor provides phase-shifted current while the motor is running.
