For these reasons, the two primary applications of tantalum capacitors in circuit design have been as high capacity energy storage elements and as ripple filtering components in power supplies. Solid tantalum capacitors are widely used to maintain voltage stability during peak current demand on a power rail.
A single tantalum capacitor may be suficient in some cases, but in more demanding applications, multiple capacitors must be configured in parallel. The second factor is the ESR of the capacitor. Low ESR will reduce the voltage drop during discharge, thus improving both performance and eficiency.
Tantalum and Tantalum Polymer (TaPoly) capacitors are also high CV devices, but extremely stable across temperature and voltage. Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC), commonly known as supercapacitors, are peerless when it comes to bulk capacitance value, easily achieving 3000F in a single element discrete capacitor.
It is non-ferrous and non-magnetic, has a high melting point and density, and is extremely stif. Most importantly, Tantalum readily forms a protective and electrically insulating oxide layer. This ability makes it an ideal candidate as the base building block of electrolytic capacitors. why tantalum capacitors?
The vast majority of tantalum electrolytics are packaged as surface-mounted devices, and an example cross section is shown in Figure 1. The tantalum capacitor structure ofers several key advantages when compared to other technologies. Tantalum capacitors are extremely dense (capacitance per unit volume) and can operate at relatively high voltages.
It is up to the designer to address how well the dielectric will perform in-application due to electrical, mechanical, and thermal stress; data that may or may not be explicit on manufacturer datasheets. Tantalum (MnO2) capacitors are a good selection for long life applications, because of virtually no wear-out mechanism.
