Customer ServiceThe purpose of this document is to suggest possible ways for selection, screening, and qualification of commercial capacitors for NASA projects and open discussions in the parts engineering community related to the use of COTS ceramic capacitors. I. Scope.
Customer ServiceTaking the temperature and voltage effects is extremely important when selecting a ceramic capacitor. The Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor Selection section explains the process of determining the minimum capacitance of a capacitor based on its tolerance and dc bias characteristics.
A capacitor with an appropriate ripple current and working voltage rating should be chosen. Polarity and Reverse Voltage – If an electrolyte capacitor is used in the circuit, it must be connected in the correct direction. Its reverse voltage rating should be at least twice the possible reverse voltage in that branch of the circuit.
These factors must be considered when selecting a capacitor for many bypassing applications or where the actual value of the capacitor is important. Choosing the wrong capacitor can lead to circuit instability, excessive noise or power dissipation, shortened product life, or unpredictable circuit behavior.
At these parameters of the model the acceleration factors are large, and a 96-hour testing of capacitors at 2 times rated voltage (VR) and 125 °C during voltage conditioning (a typical screening procedure) would be equivalent to testing at operating conditions (assumed 50 °C and 0.5 VR) to more than a thousand years of operation (see Figure 1).
A small ceramic capacitor in parallel to the bulk capacitor is recommended for high-frequency decoupling. Perhaps the most important capacitor choice a power supply design engineer can make is the selection of the component for the voltage regulator’s L-C output filter.
Today, the capacitance, tolerance, and working voltage are printed on the body of the capacitors or indicated by BS1852 standard or BS EN 60062 standard codes. In these coding systems, the value, tolerance, and working voltage of the capacitor are indicated by two -or three-digit numerical codes followed by a letter.
