Calculate the discharge time of a capacitor under constant resistive load.
costLoadDischargeTime(
1.4F, // capacitance
2V, // carged voltage
1.0V, // discharged voltage
50Ohm, // load resistor value
1.5Ohm // ESR of the cap
)
C | The capacitance of the capacitor. |
Umax | The carged voltage of the capacitor. Discharging beginns from here. |
Umin | The discarged voltage of the capacitor. Discharging ends here (for example the buck-boost converter shuts down at this voltage level). |
R | The value of the load resistor. |
ESR | The equivalent series resistance of the capacitor. Optional. If not given, 0 is assumed. |
return value | The discharge time of the capacitor. |
