3V CAPXX Supercapacitors Characteristics for Wearables, Sensors, Coin Cells and Energy Harvesters

By Microwave Product Digest, Cap XX Posted On 6.6.2019

Source: Microwave Product Digest article, Cap XX

by Pierre Mars, Vice President, Quality & Applications Engineering, CAP-XX (Australia) Pty Ltd

CAP-XX announced its 3V thin prismatic cells, suitable for slim form factor applications, that can be connected directly across a 3V battery. This has reduced cost and space and extends battery run time compared to placing a 2.7V regulator between the battery and a lower voltage conventional 2.7V supercapacitor. The article introduces the 3V supercapacitor’s characteristics and behaviour at the end applications. (more…)

Kemet Engineering Center: Advantages of Aluminum Polymer Over Traditional Aluminum Electrolytic

By Kemet Posted On 10.5.2019

Source: Kemet article

by Jonathan Ngo.

If you keep up with electronic components, the you’ll know solid electrolytic capacitors are all the rage. In this post, we’ll look at these relatively new V-chip style aluminum polymers and compare them to their predecessor – the traditional wet aluminum electrolytic. The advantages include, but are not limited to, lower ESR, better frequency performance, higher ripple handling capability, and longer lifespan. (more…)
