What is another word for bypass capacitor?
Pronunciation: [bˈa͡ɪpas kəpˈasɪtə] (IPA) 
A bypass capacitor is an essential component of an electrical circuit used to filter out high-frequency noise or to boost the signal's voltage. It is also known as a decoupling capacitor, power capacitor, and smoothing capacitor. A decoupling capacitor separates one part of a circuit from another for preventing interference and voltage fluctuations. A power capacitor stores energy and delivers it to the load when needed. A smoothing capacitor is used to convert a fluctuating DC signal into a constant DC signal. Other synonyms for a bypass capacitor include signal capacitor, RF capacitor, high-frequency capacitor, and filtering capacitor, depending on the specific application and use case.
