Using Capacitor Color Codes. 1. Understand SMD Capacitor Markings. 2. Locate the Markings on the Capacitor. 3. Decode the Capacitor Value. Ceramic capacitors are essential components in electronic circuits used for various purposes, such as filtering, coupling, and decoupling.
Ceramic capacitors are well-suited to manage ripple current because they can filter large currents generated by switched-mode power supplies. It is common to use ceramic capacitors of different sizes and values in parallel to achieve the optimum result. In such a case, each capacitor should meet its allowable ripple-current rating. In this post, I''ll use a buck converter as an example to
