Capacitor

The Capacitor component impedance varies as a function of frequency.  The Capacitor model provides for parasitic elements common to physical capacitors, including equivalent series inductance (ESL), equivalent series resistance (ESR), and leakage resistance (Leakage Resistance) through the capacitor. 

The Capacitor may be either a Series component or a Shunt component.

To calculate and graph the impedance of the Capacitor component over the frequency range selected on the Frequency Range form, click the Graph button on the Component Library form toolbar or select menu Tools | Graph.

To change a Capacitor element value, select the present value, enter the desired value, and click the OK button.  When the OK button is clicked the Capacitor is placed on the schematic diagram.  If the Close button is clicked the Component Library form closes with no changes to the schematic diagram.
