Hi All,
Is it possible to make a voltage divider using capacitor for a dc source. I want to use this as a voltage reference and not for sourcing current(no load is applied to this).
From my understanding if two similar caps are being used then at the middle the voltage will be half of the applied voltage.(Vdc*Xc/2*Xc). I used ltspice and similar beavious was seen.(used skip initial condition option)
however during one of the discussion someone told untill unless there is some leckage in the circuit capacitors can not be used as a dc voltage didvider, In other words i can not derive a voltage using capacitive divider.
So little confused whether it's possible to get a dc voltage divider using cap.
