The Intersil DeCAPitator helps to stabilize a power system voltage during severe transients. It accomplishes this by supplying current when the voltage is more than 1 low or sinking current when the voltage is higher than 1.5 from the average load voltage. The fast transient response of the DeCAPitator can make up for the slow response time of many switching DC-DC converters.
