+ | ===== What is a Bypass Capacitor? ===== | ||
+ | Bypass capacitor : A capacitor employed to conduct an alternating current around a component or group of components. | ||
+ | Often the AC is removed from an AC/DC mixture, the DC being free to pass through the bypassed component. | ||
+ | Essentially they remove any power fluctuations from an AC circuit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Generally a 0.1uF monolithic ceramic capacitor is used. For more information, see [[http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/jun97/basics.html|The Basics - Bypass Capacitors]] (The Encoder - The Newsletter of the Seattle Robotics Society) | ||
