Download this technical guide to learn about supercapacitor construction, typical applications, determining the correct supercapacitor for a given application, equivalent circuit, measuring the capacitance of supercapacitors, leakage current, life expectancy calculation, soldering guidelines, cell balancing, and lead bending recommendations.
While most engineers have a basic understanding of supercaps, relatively few have put them to use. So it is helpful to discuss the applications that best fit supercaps and the pluses and minuses of the technology vs. batteries or in combination with batteries...
Several exciting new standby power solutions, all rapidly approaching mainstream commercial viability, appear poised to give the lead acid battery a run for its money. This white paper will explore the strengths, weaknesses and future prospects of four such technologies: Lithium-ion batteries, flywheels, ultracapacitors and fuel cells...
Supercapacitors (SCs) generally operate at low voltages of about 2.7 V. To achieve higher operating voltages, it is necessary to build up a cascade of SC cells connected in series...
Circuit designs exploiting the increased energy storage provided by supercapacitors require more careful consideration of the increased power handling than that of batteries when charging these devices...
