Fig. 10. Voltage evolution for starting with all capacitors (22F) fully discharged The circuit begins the balancing process just after the charge process is finished, that is the supercapacitor module voltage has reached the programmed value (10.5V) and the flag FC (Full Charge) is set. When the balancing process is started the flag CB is set.
The balancing circuit with resistors and diodes are a simple solution, but with high power losses and modest performances. An improved solution is to use transistors to bypass the charging current, when an overvoltage is detected at each capacitor terminals.
Voltage evolution for starting with capacitor C3 having 500mV excess voltage In a different scenario, the supercapacitor C3 (22F) was pre-charged at 700mV, the rest of supercapacitors being set at 200mV, so a difference of 500mV exists, a relatively large imbalance.
The C2 capacitor on the output was a 47uF 6.3V X5R 1206-size MLCC. The L1 series element was a commercially available ferrite bead, rated for 2A maximum current. Figure 12: The two plots show the cumulative transfer responses of the circuit from Fig.11. Left plot: bias range limited to 0- 4V and 0 1A. Right plot: bias range is 0 16V and 0 1.5A.
One is that all capacitor begin charging process from the same SOC, and we monitor the individual capacitor evolution. The evolution of voltage starting from the same SOC, in this case zero, is presented in Fig. 10. Fig. 10. Voltage evolution for starting with all capacitors (22F) fully discharged
During charging at constant current the capacitor that reaches first the rated voltage level could be damaged in a further charging process. In order to prevent this, additional circuitry, named briefly, balancing circuit is provided.

Capacitor Basic Calculations
When we provide a path for the capacitor to discharge, the electrons will leave the capacitor and the voltage of the capacitor reduces. It doesn''t discharge instantly but follows an exponential curve. We split this curve into 6 segments but we''re only interested in the first 5. At point 1 the voltage is always 36.8%, point 2 will be 13.5%, point 3 will be 5%, point 4 will be …

Capacitor replacement
In some cases it might even save you from the situation presented above. That voltage rating tells you the maximum voltage that can pass trough said capacitor, so of course using a 10v rated cap on a 12v line is a stupid idea. Implying I don''t understand that bit of common sense is basically calling me an idiot, and I don''t remember insulting ...

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces a power supply rejection (PSR) enhancement technique for capacitor-less low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators with PMOS pass transistor. The main idea for enhancing the PSR is to create a feed forward signal path, so that variations of the supply line result in a current injected directly into the node at the gate ...
