Hold up Capacitors - Supply Power to a Load During Power Loss

When a circuit must stay running during momentary power loss, or at least long enough to power down safely, hold up capacitor banks can power the load in the absence of input power.

Here's a project demonstrating how to determine the size of a hold up capacitor required to power a given load for a certain time period when input power is removed.
