1,000μF ceramic capacitor, takes on electrolytics in PSUs and harvesting
Taiyo Yuden has squeezed 1,000μF into a 2.5V multi-layer ceramic capacitor only 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm. Called PMK432 BJ108MU-TE, it is aimed at replacing electrolytic capacitors in power supplies for ICT-related devices, such as basestations and servers, and backing-up energy harvesting devices. “Generally, multi-layer ceramic capacitors have a low ESR and superior frequency characteristics …
