Dielectric absorp-tion has both storage and loss components that act, and are significant, over the entire usable frequency range of the capacitor. Along with background information on the origins of dielectric absorption, this paper presents two models for a capacitor that exhibits dielectric absorption.
Dielectric absorption is the tendency of a capacitor to recharge itself after being discharged. While not widely appreciated, dielectric absorp-tion is also the dominant loss model over the entire usable range of most capacitors, and so can also affect the performance of high-Q circuits such as VCOs.
They are also used in certain amplifier and signal conditioning circuits because capacitors easily pass higher frequency AC signals but they block DC (constant) signals. This is a measure of a capacitor's ability to store charge. A large capacitance means that more charge per volt will be stored. Capacitance is measured in Farads, symbol F.
If a capacitor remains charged for a long period of time and then is briefly shorted, the voltage on the capacitor will slowly tend to recover to a fixed percentage (typically between 0.01% and 10%) of its original value. This percentage is a simple measure of dielectric absorption.
Another effect mentioned earlier is the phenomenon of dielectric absorption. If a capacitor is charged to a given voltage, discharged by shorting it, and then open circuited again, its voltage will begin to creep up from zero toward the original voltage.
Hold capacitors for SHAs must have low leakage, but another characteristic is equally important: low dielectric absorption. If a capacitor is charged, discharged, and then left on an open circuit, it will recover some of its charge.
