2. Capacitors
Information on applications, innovations and market trends is regularly analyzed by specialist bodies. Please refer, for example, to the Paumanok website and related publications. Overall, the capacitor market represents around a third of all passive components (resistors, inductors, capacitors, piezoelectric sensors and actuators).
2.1 Areas of use
Capacitors are widely used passive components.
In electronic equipment power supplies, it provides filtering after rectification (frequencies of 100 Hz for mains transformer systems, a few hundred kilohertz for switch-mode power supply systems). The multiplicity of supply voltages for digital systems (from computers to USB sticks and nomadic communications) has led to an explosion in the consumption...
