Well that's a real eye opener - I've been installing the 'dual caps' on my battery powered projects for some time now but only because the guide said so :) Thanks Collin!
I'm trying to get into electronics, what kits have you used?
We miss you Collin ! Please more content with Collin.
I've learned all the things these guides show but it really makes me happy how one channel informs everyone of often unexplained designs
The man, the myth, the legend... Collin's the reason why i was able to enter this hobby
Collin makes great informative videos with a unique enjoyable style I'd pay to see long-form electronics videos like Crash Course edu videos done by Collin.
This is by far the best Tech corp. Official UA-cam channel I've seen so far! Great shorts! Very informative!
Keep on like this and i'll keep shouting my respect to you ;D
Ahhhhh. I never thought of it that way. Thanks again Colin. You are the man.
Excellent content youtube needs more of you
That's why in mobo schematics you see like 10 1uFs, 8 150nFs, 12 47nFs... Etc.
This shorts keeps popping out and I kinda like it, is good content.
It also helps dampen ringing caused from the inductance of an electrolytic cap, which I thought was pretty cool
Dumb question, but: Why can't the bigger cap take the smaller fluctuations too?
I think this whole video is wrong.
Its frequency dependant, not amplitude only. Cheers, have a nice day.
Have just explained it in my reaction today. In short coz it isnt an ideal capacitance
Look up capacitor impedance vs frequency graph
Z = \frac{1}{j\omega C} + R + j\omega L
Thank you very much just the information I was looking for.
This is my favorite video of all time it makes me smile whenever I watch it. I sit down with a cup of tea and let yoir soothing voice lull me to sleep. Thanks mommy
Most useful and informative shorts on UA-cam!
Thanks Adafruit 👍👍👍👍👍
Lol I found one of these on my electric motor and I didn’t know what to look up to find it. Then this video showed up right on time! Thanks
I'm very glad I found your channel, I don't know a lot about this kind of stuff and they way you present things is very easy to understand. Thank you for doing this channel and providing the information to novice people such as myself.
My favorite one yet
👍Easy to understand abt capacitor info & his value
Thanks dude, that's actually pretty good to know
Thanks, Well said and presented 🎈
Awesome clips
What i don't understand: Theretically two capacitors next to each other should act as a single bigger one. So why do they act like two differentcapacitors if there is no resistor in between?
Simply put, each capacitor provide different impedance to each frequencies. So if you have noise at two frequencies and want to suppress it, you would need two capacitors.
One word: ESR
@@HemantKumar-xn8mn “one word” *proceeds to use an acronym for 3 words*
There is a resistor in between, it's the resistance inside of the cap, in different capacitor technologies there is a different range of capacitance and resistance. High capacity usually comes with high resistance and vice versa.
@@JamilKhan-hk1wl kind of right, it all comes down to the ESR, if you could build a ceramic capacitor with the capacity of a electrolytic one, out wouldn't need two caps.
It is a good practice to put the two caps in but the explanation is lacking detail. Ideally the capacity of both can be added up making the small cap look futile: the frequencies that pass through that small cap surely can move to that big cap right? Yes they could, if that big cap was an ideal capacitor, but it isn't. High frequencies coming up to that big capacitir don't just see a high capacity they can easily slip through but they also see an inductance which to them looks like an impedance
It's more than that. The large capacitor is close to the power supply while the smaller capacitors are normally placed as close as possible between VCC/GND of individual chips.
So it isn't just because of frequency limitations of the bigger capacitor but also to help with resistance/inductance in the supply/ground traces from power supply and up to the IC.
Time to add one along side my 1000 cap on my race drone, thanks👍🏻
Cool but I still don’t know why I need two. Why can’t one capacitor do both things at the same time? What is the physical difference between the two types that makes a big capacitor not filter fast frequencies?
Wow super 👍👍👍👍👍
Hmm, but why do bigger capacitors filter out fluctuations of lower frequencies? I thought that capacitance is the main parameter of a capacitor, and that connecting two capacitors together will just merge their capacitance. Is there another parameter of a capacitor that controls speed of its discharge(some kind of internal resistance perhaps?)
ya, Colin's video tells the "why" but not the "how", ie the physics of real caps (with ESR, etc...)
Thank you
Nice
Wow I understand
I repair a samsung tv replacing the first one
Ermm ... ceramics are high frequency range than that (100k's Hz-100's MHZ)... some are even faster than silver mica caps.
Also the higher the voltage the fast the capacitor (as long as the capacitance is the same)
A ceramic can of course be used for even higher frequencies. But it's all about the context. This context is about filtering the supply voltage. And this is more than just how fast a capacitor is. It's also about the amount of energy stored. So the "ten thousands of Herz range" relates to how *long* the capacitor is able to help bridge a load spike.
This means it's irrelevant what frequency range it's practical to implement RC circuits using ceramics capacitors. In this context the relevant part is how fast they can react (serial resistance) and how long load spikes they can bridge (capacitance).
The electrolyte is slower and is also much further away so inductances and resistance means it can't smooth the shorter spikes. While the ceramic caps have lower capacitance so they can't handle as long spikes.
So in this context, for the electrolyte it's meaningful to talk about the *upper* frequency it can help with. And for the ceramic, it's relevant to talk about the *lower* frequency it can help with.
Actually every cap has a frequency range in which it handles the most ripple...
And for lower frequency always best to use electrolytic in parallel with film (any of the many types)

104? I thought 103 is the way to go… is there a rule of thumb when to use one over another?
The size of spike affects the capacitance - how much energy that needs to be eaten by the cap.
So larger capacitance handles larger spike/ripple energy.
While lower capacitance normally has lower resistance/inductance and reacher a higher frequency and can eat faster spike edges.
Adding series resistors on digital signals can also reduce the slew rate of signals. And also reduces the load spikes on turn on/off. And this reduces the frequency that needs to be eaten on the supply voltage too.
da couple of caps is what it's all about. see what I did with that....🤨
104 cap circuit saver....
Needs to be separated by a resistor though, if it's connected directly in parallel, analytically, you are only using one 10.1uF.
Nope, and the total capacity is not a parameter that's interesting in this context anyway. Many ICs also get their own 0.1uF capacitor close to their power pins, but if you look at the schematic, all those caps are in parallel across the power supply. However moving those caps all together or replacing them with an single equivalent capacitor will defeat their purpose entirely.
No no no, no resistors between them! The reason they filter out different frequency ranges is because of ISR, in series resistance. Electrolytic capacitors come in high capacitance values but they also have high series resistance, whereas ceramic caps come in lower C values but have lower resistance. You can have a mix of both using tantalum caps!
Ah yes, 104
What's wrong with that? It's just a 100nF capacitor.
