# Capacitor ripple and droop # Scope: Constant discharge between ideal recharge events; ESR omitted. # Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending. # Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards. current = 1 A frequency = 100 Hz capacitance = 4700 uF ripple := current/(frequency*capacitance) [V] check ripple budget: ripple <= 3 V scenario alternative: current = 0.8 A
