This applies particularly in higher voltage circuits. In DC circuits, capacitors play a crucial role. The time constant, determined by the capacitance and resistance in the circuit, governs the charging and discharging behavior of the capacitor.
The behaviour of a capacitor in DC circuit can be understood from the following points − When a DC voltage is applied across an uncharged capacitor, the capacitor is quickly (not instantaneously) charged to the applied voltage. The charging current is given by,
The DC link capacitor also provides a low-impedance path for ripple currents generated by power switching circuits. Figure 1: In a switching power supply, the DC link capacitor is placed across the positive-to-negative rails after rectification (top). In a DC to AC power inverter it is placed in parallel with the input (bottom).
For a current mode DC/DC converter, the phase compensation resistor RITH and the phase compensation capacitor CITH are used for the phase compensation. These constants can be calculated using Equations (4) and (5).
The capacitors listed in the data sheet are selected ones whose actual capacitance is sufficiently secured. When you use a capacitor with the same capacitance but with a low profile or smaller size, the actual capacitance may not be sufficiently secured due to the DC bias characteristic.
Illinois Capacitor's PHC Series is a good example of an axial-lead film capacitor well suited for DC link applications (Figure 3.) In addition to low ESR (2.4 to 12.9 mW at 100 kHz and 25˚C) and high maximum ripple current (up to 14 A at 100 kHz), it's axial-leaded design works well in circuits having point-to-point wiring.
