Coupling capacitors are only used for coupling high frequency communication signals, making them equivalent to the capacitive part of a Capacitive Voltage Transformer. Voltage input to different types of protection relays. Ideal for installation at metering points dueto its very high accuracy class and extremely steady capacitance.
About High-Frequency Capacitors High-frequency capacitors are marketed as such due to their ability to retain ideal capacitive behavior up to very high frequencies. Capacitors will not exhibit ideal behavior up to the intended operating frequencies in RF systems, even if they are marketed as “high-frequency” or “RF” components.
On the other hand, to preserve low frequency data content, required coupling capacitance is in the range of 0.1 mF to 4.7 mF, with self-resonances in the 100s of MHz. In some cases, the approach is to use the “best” capacitors available (for example, low ESR), intended for power supply decoupling, and hope that it is good enough.
However, at high operating frequencies, these protection cells act like capacitors coupling the signal pins to AC ground. These shunt capacitors form low pass filters that degrade the high frequency performance characteristics of the IC.
Many authors have proposed using supply clamps as a method to reduce the capacitance of the input or output protection diodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The basic idea presented in all of these papers is to construct a network where the protection diodes are never required to conduct current from a static discharge in the reverse direction.
Only very small value capacitors (less than 10 pF) have resonant frequencies above 1 GHz. On the other hand, to preserve low frequency data content, required coupling capacitance is in the range of 0.1 mF to 4.7 mF, with self-resonances in the 100s of MHz.
