At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Inrush current occurs in many circuits that are hot-plugged into a power supply or battery, causing the input load capacitor to experience a sudden surge of current. This surge can damage or degrade ...

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) specification requires a connected USB device to present a load to the host or hub of no greater than 10 µF in parallel with 44Ω, including the effects of any bypass ...
