  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    The MOS capacitor was later widely adopted as a storage capacitor in memory chips, and as the basic building block of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in image sensor technology. [20] In 1966, Dr. Robert Dennard invented modern DRAM architecture, combining a single MOS transistor per capacitor. [21] [22]

  3. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    As to the basic construction principles of electrolytic capacitors, there are three different types: aluminium, tantalum, and niobium capacitors. Each of these three capacitor families uses non-solid and solid manganese dioxide or solid polymer electrolytes, so a great spread of different combinations of anode material and solid or non-solid ...

    An assembly of one or more capacitor elements in the same container with terminals brought out. capacitor bank An assembly of two or more capacitor units, electrically connected to each other. capacitor A general term used when it is not necessary to state whether reference is made to an element, a unit or a capacitor bank. capacitor equipment

  5. Electronic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit

    An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. It is a type of electrical circuit.

  6. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Capacitors for AC applications are primarily film capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, ceramic capacitors and bipolar electrolytic capacitors. The rated AC load for an AC capacitor is the maximum sinusoidal effective AC current (rms) which may be applied continuously to a capacitor within the specified temperature range.

    2009 Nobel Prize in Physics laureates George E. Smith and Willard Boyle, 2009, photographed on a Nikon D80, which uses a CCD sensor. The basis for the CCD is the metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) structure, [2] with MOS capacitors being the basic building blocks of a CCD, [1] [3] and a depleted MOS structure used as the photodetector in early CCD devices.

    A DC to DC converter circuit that uses capacitors to store energy between stages. charge transfer switch A kind of charge pump circuit. charge-coupled device An imaging sensor or data storage device that represents a signal, or pixel, by the charge stored in a capacitor and is able to move that charge from one capacitor to the next. Chebyshev ...

    Thus, the capacitor construction forms a series circuit of two capacitors, the capacitance of the anode foil C A and the cathode foil C K. As described above, the capacitance of the capacitor C e-cap is mainly determined by the anode capacitance C A when the cathode capacitance C K is approximately 10 times higher than the anode capacitance C A .
