Teardown: The power inverter - from sunlight to power grid

... Instruments). A capacitor is commonly used to store the energy that must be stored and retrieved by the inverter. This capacitor is usually located on the PV bus, and has to be large enough to control the voltage ripple across the bus. This ripple would be detrimental to MPPT accuracy otherwise. Electrolytic capacitors are very well suited to control the ripple because of their low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and high capacitance per volume. Banks of smoothing capacitors can be seen in Figure 2 along the top edge of the pc board. Boost DC-to-DC step-up converter Next in line is the step-up DC...

PC boards: Materials and processing are now a hot technology

... reliability Ford part of the era. Now that telecommunications, automotive, PC, and portable electronics markets have all adopted the FR-4 board, the cost differential with paper phenolic boards is not as high as it was in the 1980s. What is most remarkable about FR-4 PCBs is that they have gone from single or dual layer to 8, 12, and even 26 layers. The PC motherboard market helped drive the demand for these high-layer-count boards, although the integration of chip sets and PC vendor’s adoption of serial buses like PCI Express means that a modern motherboard may only have six or eight layers compared to five years ago when...
