Bypass Capacitor

Definition:

A bypass capacitor, also known as a decoupling capacitor, is an electronic component used to bypass or shunt unwanted alternating current (AC) or noise signals from a circuit. It provides a low impedance path for these signals, allowing direct current (DC) or desired signals to pass through uninterrupted.

Senses:

Sense 1:

Noun: A small capacitor that is connected in parallel to a power supply line or signal line to reduce noise or voltage ripples.

Example Sentence: The bypass capacitor effectively filters out high-frequency noise from the power supply line, helping to improve the stability of the circuit.

Usages:

Usage 1:

Noun: Bypass capacitors are commonly used in electronic circuits to eliminate unwanted noise and voltage fluctuations, ensuring smooth power delivery to critical components.

Example Sentence: The design of this circuit includes several bypass capacitors strategically placed to eliminate any noise that could affect the performance of the amplifier.

Usage 2:

Verb: To bypass or shunt unwanted signals or noise using a bypass capacitor.

Example Sentence: Make sure to bypass the high-frequency noise by properly connecting the bypass capacitor across the power supply terminals.
