Selecting Capacitors to Minimize Distortion in Audio Applications

This means that undesirable low-frequency noise, such as the typical 1/f noise of a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor front end, will not be filtered. Applying digital filtering further down the signal chain will suppress typical 1/f noise. However, it is still difficult to completely eliminate the influence of the ceramic capacitor in the bass region of the audio …

Chapter 8: Amplifier Frequency Response Effect of Coupling Capacitors

In capacitively coupled amplifiers, the coupling and bypass capacitors affect the low frequency cutoff. These capacitors form a high-pass filter with circuit resistances. A typical BJT amplifier has three high-pass filters. For example, the input coupling capacitor forms a high-pass filter with the input resistance of the amplifier:

In this way, capacitors block DC but enable AC. Considering AC, if the frequency of oscillation of the water is low, the membrane has to stretch a fair way before it gets to return to its middle position and out the other way. So if the membrane is quite tight/inflexible, then it will inhibit low frequency oscillation. At higher frequency, the ...

Capacitive Voltage Divider Circuit as an AC Voltage Divider

Consider the two capacitors, C1 and C2 connected in series across an alternating supply of 10 volts.

Capacitors for Coupling and Decoupling Applications

To remove AC noise, a bypass capacitor is placed in parallel with a resistor. A capacitor offers high resistance to low frequency signals and less resistance to high frequency signals. As such, low frequency DC components use the resistor path while high frequency AC components are shunted to ground through the bypass capacitor. This yields a ...

When should I use a low ESR capacitor

Power-supply capacitors smooth ripple on DC power supplied from AC sources. When the AC source is low frequency (50 Hz, 60 Hz, 120 Hz...) the capacitors are physically large, and could tolerate high ESR (like, 1 ohm for a 1A supply with a 1000 uF filter capacitor). That''s because a one-amp ripple current only created one watt of heat, and a ...

23.2: Reactance, Inductive and Capacitive

Capacitors favor change, whereas inductors oppose change. Capacitors impede low frequencies the most, since low frequency allows them time to become charged and stop the current. Capacitors can be used to filter out low frequencies. For example, a capacitor in series with a sound reproduction system rids it of the 60 Hz hum.
