Asymmetrical bus capacitors

摘要

A capacitor network includes a plurality of capacitors in series. Each capacitor has a preselected capacitance and breakdown voltage. The sum of the breakdown voltages of all the capacitors is at least equal to a desired voltage value. The capacitances of the capacitors are chosen to provide a desired capacitance value when connected in series. At least one capacitor has a break-down voltage equal to greater than fifty percent of the desired voltage value and a capacitance approximately equal to the desired capacitance value.
