  • Introduction What Is a Polymer Capacitor?
    ECAS series (polymer-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor) No. C2T2CPS-063 Introduction If you take a look at the main board of an electronic device such as a personal computer, you’re likely to see some of the six types of capacitors shown below (Fig. 1). Common types of capacitors include tantalum electrolytic capacitors (MnO2 type and polymer type), aluminum electrolytic capacitors (electrolyte can type, polymer can type, and chip type), and MLCC. Figure 1. Main Types of Capacitors What Is a Polymer Capacitor? There are many other types of capacitors, such as film capacitors and niobium capacitors, but here we will describe polymer capacitors, a type of capacitor produced by Murata among others. In both tantalum electrolytic capacitors and aluminum electrolytic capacitors, a polymer capacitor is a type of electrolytic capacitor in which a conductive polymer is used as the cathode. In a polymer-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the anode is made of aluminum foil and the cathode is made of a conductive polymer. In a polymer-type tantalum electrolytic capacitor, the anode is made of the metal tantalum and the cathode is made of a conductive polymer. Figure 2 shows an example of this structure. Figure 2. Example of Structure of Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor In conventional electrolytic capacitors, an electrolyte (electrolytic solution) or manganese dioxide (MnO2) was used as the cathode. Using a conductive polymer instead provides many advantages, making it possible to achieve a lower equivalent series resistance (ESR), more stable thermal characteristics, improved safety, and longer service life. As can be seen in Fig. 1, polymer capacitors have lower ESR than conventional electrolytic Copyright © muRata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

  • Capacitor & Capacitance
    CAPACITOR & CAPACITANCE - TYPES Capacitor types Listed by di-electric material. A 12 pF 20 kV fixed vacuum capacitor Vacuum : Two metal, usually copper, electrodes are separated by a vacuum. The insulating envelope is usually glass or ceramic. Typically of low capacitance - 10 - 1000 pF and high voltage, up to tens of kilovolts, they are most often used in radio transmitters and other high voltage power devices. Both fixed and variable types are available. Vacuum variable capacitors can have a minimum to maximum capacitance ratio of up to 100, allowing any tuned circuit to cover a full decade of frequency. Vacuum is the most perfect of dielectrics with a zero loss tangent. This allows very high powers to be transmitted without significant loss and consequent heating. Air : Air dielectric capacitors consist of metal plates separated by an air gap. The metal plates, of which there may be many interleaved, are most often made of aluminium or silver-plated brass. Nearly all air dielectric capacitors are variable and are used in radio tuning circuits. Metallized plastic film: Made from high quality polymer film (usually polycarbonate, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyester (Mylar), and for high quality capacitors polysulfone), and metal foil or a layer of metal deposited on surface. They have good quality and stability, and are suitable for timer circuits. Suitable for high frequencies. Mica: Similar to metal film. Often high voltage. Suitable for high frequencies. Expensive. Excellent tolerance. Paper: Used for relatively high voltages. Now obsolete. Glass: Used for high voltages. Expensive. Stable temperature coefficient in a wide range of temperatures. Ceramic: Chips of alternating layers of metal and ceramic.

  • MT-101: Decoupling Techniques
    MT-101 TUTORIAL Decoupling Techniques WHAT IS PROPER DECOUPLING AND WHY IS IT NECESSARY? Most ICs suffer performance degradation of some type if there is ripple and/or noise on the power supply pins. A digital IC will incur a reduction in its noise margin and a possible increase in clock jitter. For high performance digital ICs, such as microprocessors and FPGAs, the specified tolerance on the supply (±5%, for example) includes the sum of the dc error, ripple, and noise. The digital device will meet specifications if this voltage remains within the tolerance. The traditional way to specify the sensitivity of an analog IC to power supply variations is the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). For an amplifier, PSRR is the ratio of the change in output voltage to the change in power supply voltage, expressed as a ratio (PSRR) or in dB (PSR). PSRR can be referred to the output (RTO) or referred to the input (RTI). The RTI value is equal to the RTO value divided by the gain of the amplifier. Figure 1 shows how the PSR of a typical high performance amplifier (AD8099) degrades with frequency at approximately 6 dB/octave (20 dB/decade). Curves are shown for both the positive and negative supply. Although 90 dB at dc, the PSR drops rapidly at higher frequencies where more and more unwanted energy on the power line will couple to the output directly. Therefore, it is necessary to keep this high frequency energy from entering the chip in the first place. This is generally done with a combination of electrolytic capacitors (for low frequency decoupling), ceramic capacitors (for high frequency decoupling), and possibly ferrite beads.

  • Selecting and Applying Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors for Inverter Applications
    Selecting and Applying Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors for Inverter Applications Sam G. Parler, Jr. Cornell Dubilier Abstract— Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in all types of inverter power systems, from variable-speed drives to welders to UPS units. This paper discusses the considerations involved in selecting the right type of aluminum electro- lytic bus capacitors for such power systems. The relationship among temperature, voltage, and ripple ratings and how these parameters affect the capacitor life are discussed. Examples of how to use Cornell Dubilier’s web-based life-modeling java applets are covered.
