High CV Wet Tantalum DC Capacitors
Written By: T.Zedníček | J.Petržílek
Abstract:
There are very many DC back up applications that require high energy storage capability. Rechargeable batteries and double layer carbon capacitors, (Electric Double Layer Capacitors or EDLC), have certain limitations in high temperature and harsh operational conditions. This paper will describe a novel application and design concept approach that will introduce High CV wet tantalum capacitors into this arena. Comparisons with supercapacitors and conventional wet tantalum capacitors will be given, with benchmarking of the capacitor technologies.
