Abstract

The invention provides a thin-film capacitor discharging apparatus with an inexpensive configuration that can stably produce a constant voltage upon discharging a thin-film capacitor. The thin-film capacitor discharging apparatus is featured by discharging a thin-film capacitor for use in a direct current circuit, and including a discharging function serving as a hybrid such that direct current is received from the thin-film capacitor with voltage becoming lowered to temporarily store electric charge to supply the direct current to a DC/DC inverter while a basic voltage remains until the thin-film capacitor becomes completely empty of electric charge.

Claims

1. A thin-film capacitor discharging apparatus for use in a direct current circuit for discharging a thin-film capacitor, characterized by comprising

a discharging function serving as a hybrid such that direct current is received from the thin-film capacitor with voltage becoming lowered to temporarily store electric charge to supply the direct current to a DC/DC inverter while a basic voltage remains until the thin-film capacitor becomes completely empty of electric charge.
