7 Tantalum & Polymer Tantalum Capacitors

A Tantalum Polymer capacitor basically consists as well as a conventional Tantalum capacitor of a sintered Tantalum block. (Anode)

The dielectric is Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) which is used as an isolating layer.

The next layer is, in opposite to the conventional Tantalum technology, a high conductive Polymer. (Cathode) This organic material enables an enormous improvement of the capacitor’s performance.

Conventional Tantalum Tantalum Capacitor Polymer Capacitor Tantalum Polymer Capacitors are opening up opportunities for designers to shrink the size of their products and add new functionality in a wide range of applications. This technology enables to reduce the overall number of Tantalum Powder Tantalum Dielectric Ta2O5 MnO2 Graphite Conductive silver Tantalum Powder Tantalum Dielectric Ta205 Polymer Graphite Conductive silver parts required, due to its lower ESR and increasing layout flexibility. + +

Voltage Derating

Parameters Sensitive to Derating FB= 1.0% / 1000 hours for commercial tantalum series There are three main parameters sensitive to the level of derating and tantalum polymer capacitors (ratio between applied voltage and rated voltage of the capacitor): Steady State Failure Rate, Dynamic Failure Rate (resistance to surge 0.5% / 1000 hours for professional tantalum series current / low external resistance) and DCL at application voltage. TRJ, TRM, THJ

However, random failures can occur in is the most important factor to consider an appropriate derating operation. The failure rate of Tantalum capacitors will decrease factor of tantalum capacitor.

The useful life reliability of the tantalum capacitors in steady Current through capacitor state is affected by three factors. The equation from which the The maximum surge current (transient) through the capacitor in failure rate can be calculated is: a circuit is defined by two factors:

Comparison of Tantalum & Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors

Introduction Parasitic ESR and ESL In many business fields like measurement, automotive and Both of these capacitors have parasitic ESL and ESR, simply industry electronics, there are more often intentions to replace because of the physics involved in manufacturing the devices. tantalum capacitors through MLCC’s. However the replacement Both technologies have a finite length and width of conductor in is not always an ideal solution, because the capacitors have built- which the conduction currents flow through, therefore they both in specific kinds of features suitable for desired equipments. have inductance (ESL).

There are significant differences in constructions between The ESR of MLCC’s is typically lower than that of similar value multilayer ceramic (MLC) and tantalum capacitors. The ceramic tantalum. The ratio of this parasitic is typically 1:100. MLC chip is a ceramic block with end metallizations applied to Using conductive polymers in place of the traditional MnO2 the opposing end termination faces (T1 & T2). cathode reduces this ratio down to 1:10 and, in some cases This creates wrap-around metal pads on the adjacent faces, approaching unity – see Fig. 1. and these pads are soldered directly to the printed circuit board (PCB) along the bottom of the chip. Temperature Coefficient of capacitance The allowable change in capacitance for two of the ceramic The active element of the tantalum capacitor is a metal-dominated dielectrics and for tantalum within their temperature ranges are structure that is encased in plastic, with leadframes extending out all within a +-15% window – see Fig. 2. from the plastic to allow a leadframe wrap-under (T1 & T2), which creates metal pads along the bottom of the package to For filtering applications, they are very similar, as deviations within facilitate the soldering to the PCB. 20% will have little impact on circuit. For power supplies that are always in the temperature range above 20°C, the higher

Tantalum Construction Ceramic Construction capacitance from the tantalum could result in lowered impedance T1 T2 T1 T2 and improved performance.

Viewing these same considerations for decoupling of hot microprocessors or decoupling applications, the higher capacitance at elevated temperatures makes the tantalum response more desirable. Fig. 3 - Tantalum and ceramic chip structure

If there will be a DC voltage applied, the capacitance of the ceramic capacitor will decrease. The larger the capacitor chip, the greater possibility for cracking. This effect is called DC bias.
