Unreferenced date September 2009 Regenerativecapacitormemory is a type of computer memory that uses the electrical property of capacitance to store the bit s of data. Because the stored charge slowly leaks away, these memories must be periodically regenerated i.e. read and rewritten, also called memory refresh refresh ed to prevent data loss. Other types of computer memory exist that use the electrical property of capacitance to store the data, but do not require regeneration. However these have either been somewhat impractical e.g., the Selectron tube or are usually considered to be read only memory e.g., EPROM , Flash memory because writing takes significantly longer than reading them. History The first regenerativecapacitormemory built was the rotating capacitor drum memory of the Atanasoff Berry Computer 1942 . Each of its two drums stored thirty 50 bit binary numbers, rotated at 60 rpm and was regenerated every rotation 1 Hz refresh rate . The first random access regenerativecapacitormemory was the Williams tube 1947 . Typically they stored 512 to 1K bits, the refresh rate required varied depending on the type of cathode ray tube CRT used. The modern dynamic random access memory DRAM 1966 is a regenerativecapacitormemory. Category Computer memory ... more details

Ferroelectric capacitor is a capacitor based on a ferroelectricity ferroelectric material. In contrast, traditional capacitors are based on dielectric materials. Ferroelectric devices are used in digital electronics as part of ferroelectric RAM , or in analog electronics as tunable capacitors varactors . Image Capacitor schematic with dielectric.svg thumb Schematic of a ferroelectric capacitor In memory applications, the stored value of a ferroelectric capacitor is read by applying an electric field . The amount of Electric charge charge needed to flip the memory cell to the opposite state is measured and the previous state of the cell is revealed. This means that the read operation destroys the memory cell state, and has to be followed by a corresponding write operation, in order to write the bit back. This makes it similar to the ferrite core memory . The requirement for a write cycle for each read cycle, together with the high but not infinite write cycle limit, poses a potential problem for some special applications. Theory In a short circuited ferroelectric capacitor with a metal ferroelectric metal MFM structure, a charge distribution of screening charges forms at the metal ferroelectric interface so as to screen the electric displacement of the ferroelectric.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A reservoir capacitor is a capacitor that is used to smooth the pulsating DC from an AC rectifier . The reservoir capacitor releases its stored energy during the part of the AC cycle when the AC source does not supply any power. This allows the load to be powered at all times. File Reservoircapdiagram.png Performance with low impedance source Image Reservoircapidealised.gif The above diagram shows reservoir performance from a near zero Electrical impedance impedance source, such as a mains supply. As the rectifier voltage increases, it charges the capacitor and also supplies Electric current current to the load. At the end of the quarter cycle, the capacitor is charged to its peak value Vm of the rectifier voltage. Following this, the rectifier voltage starts to decrease as it enters the next quarter cycle. This initiates the discharge of the capacitor through the load. Performance with significant impedance source These circuits are very frequently fed from transformer s, and have significant Electrical resistance resistance . Transformer resistance modifies the reservoir capacitor waveform, changes the peak voltage, and introduces regulation issues.

File MIS Kondensator vertikal .svg thumb MIS structure Metal SiO sub 2 sub p Si in a vertical MIS capacitor A MIS capacitor is a capacitor formed from a layer of metal , a layer of Electrical insulation insulating material and a layer of semiconductor material. It gets its name from the initials of the metal insulator semiconductor structure. As with the MOS field effect transistor structure, for historical reasons, this layer is also often referred to as a MOS capacitor, but this specifically refers to an oxide insulator material. The maximum capacitance, C sub MIS max sub is calculated analogously to the plate capacitor math C mathrm MIS max varepsilon 0 varepsilon r cdot A over d math where &epsilon sub r sub is the insulator s relative permittivity &epsilon sub 0 sub is the permittivity of the vacuum A is the area d is the insulator thickness The production method depends on materials used it is even possible that polymers can be used as the insulator . We will consider an example of a MOS capacitor based on silicon and silicon dioxide . On the semiconductor substrate, a thin layer of oxide silicon dioxide is applied by, for example, thermal oxidation , or chemical vapour deposition and then Evaporation deposition coated with a metal. This structure and thus a capacitor of this type is present in every MIS field effect transistor, such as MOSFET s. For the steady reduction of the size of structures in microelectronics, the following facts are clear. From the formula above it follows that capacitance increases with ever thinner layers of insulation. For all MIS devices the insulation thickness cannot fall below a minimum of around 10 nm. Using thinner insultation than this leads to the occurrence of quantum tunnelling tunneling through the insulating material dielectric . Due to this, the use of so called High k dielectric high k materials as the insulator material is being investigated as of 2009 . Category Capacitors de MIS Kondensator ... more details

Refimprove date May 2007 A photoflash capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor used in flash photography flash camera s, professional flashes, and also in solid state laser power supplies. Their usual purpose is to briefly power a high voltage flash tube , used to illuminate a photographic subject or optically pump a laser rod. As flash tubes require very high current for a very short time to operate, photoflash capacitors are designed to supply high discharge current pulses without excessive internal heating. The principal properties of a capacitor are capacitance, working voltage, equivalent series resistance ESR , equivalent series inductance ESL , and working temperature Compared with electrolytic capacitors usually used for power supply filtering at utility frequency power frequency , a photoflash capacitor is designed to have lower ESR, ESL, and capacitance manufacturing tolerance , but does not need as high a working temperature. The light energy emitted by a flash is supplied by the capacitor, and is proportional to the product of the capacitance and voltage squared photoflash capacitors have capacitance in the range 80 160 microfarad s F and voltages from 180 330 volts for flash units built into small disposable and compact cameras, increasing for units delivering higher light energy. ref Forrest Mims Forrest M.
