capacitor datasheet? ripple current ? Impedance ratio?

** Desperate Groper Alert !

I 'm a bit confused with the math of ripple curent after reading the 2 different datasheets . Capacitor A is 640mA at 100kHz and Capacitor B is 146mA at 120Hz.

So What is the ripple current for Capacitor B at 100kHz? Which one has a higher ripple current?

** Mary has 3 apples and Johnny has five.

How much older is Mary than Johnny ??

Get it now - f*****ad ?

Also, some of the miniature capacitor datasheets don't list the Impedance or ESR , and only Impedance ratio is listed. Is there any way to find out the impedance?

** Buy one, measure it yourself.

What a PITA cretin .....

Almost certainly ( 99.99% certaintly ) it isn't intended for use @ 100kHz.

At what frequency ?

ESR@100kHz is data supplied for capacitors intended for use as the output caps on switchmode power supplies.

Ones rated @ 120 or 100Hz aren't intended for this application.

What is the application?

Don't let Phil get to you. You posted a legitimate question on the appropriate newsgroup.

** Worse Fuckwit Groper Alert

Don't let Phil get to you. You posted a legitimate question on the appropriate newsgroup.

** The question is asinine.

And SO are you - f*****ad.

You pathetic idiot.

It must be awful to have such a pathetic attitude. Can you imagine having to swear at the word, just so that you can think that you are not as bad as you really are! Must have grown up in the bundu, or must have been rejected by your mother. I cannot imagine any person having any feelings for such a pathetic lamebrain

Thank you for feeding the philtroll. If you people would ignore him completely, he would go away to better feeding grounds.

*******************************************************

Capacitor A: Rated ripple current(mA/rms 105c,100kHz): 640

Capacitor B: Rated ripple current(mA/rms at 120 Hz,105°C): 146 Frequency Multipliers: 1.20 For 10K Freq.(Hz)

The rule of thumb designers approximation for choosing the size of a capacitor:

C = T(I/Vpp)

C is in farads T is ripple period in seconds Vpp is the peak to peak ripple I is the load current in amps

** Dunno a thing about cap impedance, ESR or SMPSs - do you ?

Hint - it when you chose a cap on factors other than its value in uF.

Hey Phil... did you used to own any firearms back before they were outlawed? I think anyone that lives within driving distance of you is probably wondering if they made sure they collected all of them. You probably wouldn't get mad enough at some stupid google groups user to try to send him to the big Bulletin Board in the sky would you?

First, you have to model what you are trying to accomplish assuming that ESR = 0. Have you ever designed a circuit?

Who? ;)

Phil Allison?

Not such a bad guy...

Profess to be an authority and make a mistake and he\'ll surely cut
you down.  What\'s wrong with that?

Ask a question after you\'ve done a reasonable amount of homework and
he\'ll generally put you on the right track.  What\'s wrong with that?

Expect to be coddled because you\'re stupid?  There\'s a lot wrong
with that.

** Then you forget that damn silly idea because ESR never = 0.

When are you gonna learn to read?

....... Phil

Ummm ... This is sci.electronics.BASICS ... where else should the stupid go to be coddled in matters of electronics, is there another newsgroup sci.electronics.really.really.basic.for.idiots.only or something.

I understand coming down on a poster trying to cheat on homework, or that is unwilling to learn when pointed at further information about the subject.

But Phil's tolerance level is way off, and the nastyness of his responses is usually WAY out proportion to the level of anything in what he is responding to.

Do YOU feel the OPs post was deserving of being called a desperate groper, a f*****ad, and a PITA cretin. I'll conditionally give him groper (but not desperate groper) but the rest of it was just totally out of line

Martin

Of course not. When designing one usually starts with a first approximation to determine the size of the capacitor that will be needed. Then one consults manufacturers' data to determine cost, physical size, etc. Then one selects a capacitor and uses its ESR (and perhaps other information) in a second approximation to determine if the ripple is still within tolerance and to calculate heat dissipation in the capacitor and subsequently the expected temperature rise of the capacitor in the application. Several iterations of selection/calculation might be required to pick the best capacitor (within the budgets of cost and size).

You are rather abusive, by the way, which tells me that you are deficient in terms of knowledge and experience.

Well said Martin ... you have spoken for many of us. Banish that abusive monster to science.electronics.design where he will meet many of his ilk.

** Read the OP's question - for god's sake.

He did NOT want to know about cap value.

Your formula has NOTHING do with the posted question.

YOU dunno a thing about cap impedance, ESR or SMPSs - do you ?

Hint - it when you chose a cap on factors other than its value in uF.

When are you gonna learn to read ?

( snip more of this cretin's irrelevant drivel)

** For someone who cannot even comprehend a simple question or my criticism of your reply - that is very funny.

YOU are just another wanker with NOTHING to say.

Go drop dead - s*****ad.

........ Phil

Gee Phil, you are amazingly disgusting. I responded as I did to the OP because I felt that his question suggested that he was floundering about as to capacitor selection. I was trying to be helpful ... if I was not, then the OP simply can choose to ignore my response, or respond from his point of view. Who are you to criticize my response? His agent? A forum cop? God?

I could easily kick your sorry arse with all kinds of slurs, but actually feel sorry for you (and will never get down into the slime with your ilk). However, I will say goodbye with a big PLONK! Folks who have nothing to offer but acrimony are simply ego feeders.
