In this video we will have a closer look at a decoupling problem of one of my recent LED circuits. That means I will explain how a decoupling capacitor can save my circuit from harmful oscillations. Along the way I will talk about three popular capacitor types, the film capacitor, the ceramic capacitor and the electrolytic capacitor and explain which one is best suited for which application and why. Let's get started!
Thanks to the Würth Elektronik eiSos Gruppe for sponsoring this video.

This is a perfect video. I wish something like this was used in school while I was studying instead of the lots and lots of equations with no real world understanding. It took me years to find it out myself, this single video would shorten my learning curve to minutes instead of months or even years. THANKS to both you and Wurth Elektronik for providing you the design kit. This is what I consider spot-on partnership.

@winstonsmith478 5 років тому
What kind(s) of cap(s) of what value? Always look at the datasheet. From the TC4420 datasheet (cap values for most ICs are usually more definitively stated): "The VDD input should be bypassed to ground with a local ceramic capacitor. The value of the capacitor should be chosen based on the capacitive load that is being driven. A minimum value of 1.0 µF is suggested."
@isettech 3 роки тому
Late reply, the cap should be able to provide the capacitor load provided by the MOSFET Source Gate Junction. Higher load values require higher bypass cap values. For example, driving an International Rectifier IRF3805 is driving into a typical gate capacitance of 7.96 nF. At 100KHZ, this is considerable gate current. A 10nF (0.01uF) bypass cap is going to be inadequate. I worked on an inverter where one driver drove a bank of 4 of these transistors, so the minimum value of 1uF is a good start.

Very fine video! I actually understood most of the theory for once. And thanks for the link to order free samples from Würth Electronik. I knew this procedure existed with other companies but always had trouble in the past. My foreign address or lack of a company name are the usual stumbling blocks. Had I known this procedure I could have avoided some of the $400 on various caps I just spent buying low volumes from several suppliers. More videos like this would be much appreciated!

That is an awesome capacitor kit! My first thought was high frequency oscillating best to use ceramic. Electrolitics start “ringing” at high frequency creating additional oscillations. A transformer and capacitor would be the most effective in my thinking.
