+# Diode - Capacitor Filter
+A simple filter for isolating sections of a noisy power supply. Intended for use on drones (and other RC viehicles), to isolate the VTX from the noisy power line.
+
+## Operation:
+* Voltage: 0-20V (1-5s LIPO).
+* Current: 1A cont.
+Should be able to provide 5W of power during a 1ms discontinuity, to a device that accepts 7-16V, from a 16V power supply. Or 1W for 5ms.
+
+
+
+## BOM:
+* 1x SK34 3A 40V Shottky diode in a DO-214A package
+* 5x 10uF 25V SMD 0805 capacitor
+* optional: 1x 100-330uF 25V THT low-esr electrolytic capacitor
