Definitions from the WebBypass CapacitorDefinition:A bypass capacitor, also known as a decoupling capacitor, is an electronic component used to bypass or shunt unwanted alternating current (AC) or noise signals from a circuit. It provides a low impedance path for these signals, allowing direct current (DC) or desired signals to pass through uninterrupted. Senses:Sense 1:Noun: A small capacitor that is connected in parallel to a power supply line or signal line to reduce noise or voltage ripples. Example Sentence: The bypass capacitor effectively filters out high-frequency noise from the power supply line, helping to improve the stability of the circuit. Usages:Usage 1:Noun: Bypass capacitors are commonly used in electronic circuits to eliminate unwanted noise and voltage fluctuations, ensuring smooth power delivery to critical components. Example Sentence: The design of this circuit includes several bypass capacitors strategically placed to eliminate any noise that could affect the performance of the amplifier. Usage 2:Verb: To bypass or shunt unwanted signals or noise using a bypass capacitor. Example Sentence: Make sure to bypass the high-frequency noise by properly connecting the bypass capacitor across the power supply terminals. Related Products: | ||||
