Hi, I would like to add, two articles to this, 1. On Energy Efficiency of Switched-Capacitor Converters <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6218201&tag=1> (efficiency is actually Vaverage/Vmax - when starting from zero it is 50%) 2. See fig.6 of Capacitors can radiate <http://www.electroyou.it/tucchoy/wiki/articolo1> (plot for fraction of energy radiated, dissipated and oscillating) thanks, Anto On Sat, Aug 2, 2014 at 8:39 PM, David Utah <telegrapher9@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 1) When charging a capacitor from zero volts the energy stored in that > capacitor is W = 1/2(V^2)C > 2) The charge stored in the capacitor is Q = CV = i x t > > 3) The energy input to charging the capacitor is Wcharging = V x i x t > > Let's run the numbers using V = 3.3 volts and C = 10 pF. > > The energy stored in the 10 pF is 1/2(3.3^2)(10pF) = *54 pJ* > > The charge stored is (10pF)(3.3V) = 33 pC, and i x t = 33 pC > > Now we run the equation on line (3) and Wcharging = (3.3V)(33pC) = *108 pJ* > > We see that the energy into charging the 10 pF capacitance is 108 pJ while > the energy stored in the capacitance is 54 pJ.
