I forgot a lot of this stuff from my undergrad. Thanks for such a great refresher!

[@FoolishEngineer]

You're so welcome!

[@retrohd1_]

I've always had trouble with electronics and they don't teach everything in the class, so I have to rely on UA-cam videos to help me out.
This one definitely solved some confusions and misunderstandings!
THANKS A LOT!!!

Awesome video, I didn't know that the dynamic loads caused current spikes even if the input is pure DC, although it may seem obvious, we forget such minor but important details while dealing with projects where the requirements are stringent (For ex: Instrumentation), I'd say it's a trap for beginners and hobbyists, keep making such videos, they are very helpful!

[@mateoslab]

Thank you so much for this video, great animations. How can I calculate the value of the decoupling capacitor? Does it need to be in resonance with the noise frequency?

[@FoolishEngineer]

You will have to measure the frequency of the noise and accordingly, you will have to select a capacitor which has very low ESR at that particular frequency.
But this is a very tedious process, you can read the datasheet of the component which you are using they might have suggested the Decaps for their chip

I always wondered why do we add both electrolytic and ceramic capacitors at the same tyme as bypass capacitors, even though the net capacitance wasn't much changed.
I only thought in terms of capacitance value and not the different properties of these two different types of capacitors .
But well, i got the answer now. Thank you Foolish Engineer. Your videos are really helpful, keep going...

I have a question about boostrap capacitor on the egs002 module a valve of 22pf 25 v rating is use but when I measure the voltage from the high side the voltage is 230 volt the same as the h bridge switching voltage how comes the gate voltage is the same and igbt capacitor have rating of 30 volt max but the boostrap capacitor charge up 230 volt with a 25 volt valve capacitor and the circuit don’t blow up explain

Yes

Adobe after effects

[@prathapa0]

What effects do we observe when very large decoupling capacitor is connected in our circuit ?

[@RobertoPietrafesa]

Great explanations and great animations, my friend: congrats from Italy. A question: I'm using Si5351A, an I2C-PROGRAMMABLE ANY-FREQUENCY CMOS clock generator. The datasheet says: "All that is recommended is one 0.1 to 1.0 μF decoupling capacitor per power supply pin". So, to stay in the middle, I chose a 0.47 μF (0603 SMD) ceramic capacitor (my system works @ 3,3V) and put it two millimeters close to IC. I will use IC to generate clock at 14 MHz. How may I do to know if that value is good for my purposes? Thank you so much.

[@FoolishEngineer]

I can not comment whether the value is good or bad, there is only one way to check it out- to test it. I would suggest to put the provision of 2 capacitors apart from selected cap on the PCB and don't populate right away, if you see the noise levels are high, just add one or two caps in parallel of different value and preferably package also.

Well explained. Thanks. My question : I have a schematics with 2 x 1000μF in parallel. Why not one single 2000 ? Thanks for your reply.

[@FoolishEngineer]

if you use 2 caps in series then ESR of the total capacitor decreases, which decreases the power losses.

[@PythonCoding]

How do we choose package of the capacitor in MLCC ?

[@MrPageplayer]

In DC eq circuit using electrolytic bypass caps, can I use a pair of 470uf caps in place off off 330uf of same voltage. If so, what changes may I notice?

[@FoolishEngineer]

Yes you can!!!! your ripple will be lower as compared to the 330uF cap, but the ESR of the caps increases as you increase the capacitance value, but it will not differ much.

[@denishraju]

Great Video. I have a question:
I don't know any one else who could help me with this. If i have a PWM source , and lets say i want to convert it to Analogue voltage. How can it do it without affecting the PWM source?

[@FoolishEngineer]

You can use just a capacitor to get the average voltage of PWM but it will surely affect the PWM, I would suggest you use a DAC.

[@anuragmahajan5919]

You could use an RC low pass filter and then use a suitable OPAMP as a buffer. Even very small capacitance values in pF and nF range at the output of an OPAMP can cause instability problems, so first use the Low Pass filter and then the OPAMP

[@balajiramesh6814]

Nice great video!
Can you tell me which decoupling capacitor package are using across microcontroller... Like example (STM, Renesas)

[@FoolishEngineer]

Generally 0805 or 0603 packages are sufficient, based on complexity of your design
