| 1. | The IRLP board has no audio transformers or bypass capacitors.
|
| 2. | A bypass capacitor was often added to prevent the device from attenuating AC signals such as transmitted voice.
|
| 3. | In the past, the bypass capacitor in the probe head was adjustable ( to achieve this 10?attenuation ).
|
| 4. | :Meanwhile, the purpose of the bypass capacitor around any external emitter resistance is to make that impedance low for DC signals.
|
| 5. | To decouple a subcircuit from AC signals or voltage spikes on a power supply or other line, a bypass capacitor is often used.
|
| 6. | A bypass capacitor is to shunt energy from those signals or transients past the subcircuit to be decoupled, right to the return path.
|
| 7. | For a power supply line, a bypass capacitor from the supply voltage line to the power supply return ( neutral ) would be used.
|
| 8. | So it can be important to keep the supply clean of higher frequency ripples and signals, e . g . by the use of bypass capacitors.
|
| 9. | In fact, if you're good at soldering, it's likely the entire motherboard could be resuscitated by the installation of new bypass capacitors.
|
| 10. | An alternative name is "'bypass capacitor "'as it is used to bypass the power supply or other high impedance component of a circuit.
