AVX has expanded the range of its tantalum multi-anode TPM Series capacitors with a new version boasting high capacitance of 2200 μF at 2,5 V. Many of the latest integrated circuits, including power processors, are operating at voltages around 1 V.
This new 2,5 V capacitor provides high capacitance and low ESR of 18 mΩ for these very high performance power supply applications.
Processor requirements usually demand a capacitance around 5000 μF or above. In the past, five 1000 μF low ESR polymer capacitors would be needed to achieve the target specification in these circuits. The new 2200 μF TPM capacitor can significantly reduce the component count to just three capacitors for this application, thereby achieving cost savings and reducing placement costs and board area, while delivering excellent stability in harsh environments.
Tantalum capacitors are known for the stability of parameters such as capacitance with voltage and time, high reliability and clear filtering. Conventional tantalum capacitors using a MnO2 second electrode system offer long-term proven stability. This is important for middle and longer lifetime electronic devices such as telecommunication boards for base stations or networking infrastructure applications.
The TPM Series of capacitors is available up to 50 V d.c. and with capacitance ranging from 10 to 2200 μF, with the latter being supplied in an E (7343) case size.
