Many battery operated appliances need to have high capacitance (high CV) capacitors, with low ESR and low leakage current to manage the pulse requirements. High CV tantalums are being developed and launched during last few years by leading Ta capacitors manufacturers presenting capacitances of 2.2 and 3.3 mF. oThus, for more demanding applications, banks of tantalum capacitors are used in order to satisfy the demands. oWhereas the capacitance of the smallest SC of Cellergy (12x12 mm) is of about 10 mF. Going to higher CV for tantalum capacitors meets with growing challenges and limitations in process and materials.

Many SSD manufacturers use supercapacitors (SCs) for that purpose while others prefer using Tantalums. When high capacitance is required the only reasonable solution is using SCs to avoid data loss in the event of power failure.

Intel SSD Application – case study conclusions Intel explained that they use 6 Tantalums instead of a SC since it is a less expensive solution “getting the same intended job done” From comparison done lastly, using 6 tantalums vs. one SC is a more expensive solution Since Tantalum is a rare material price is expected to continue growing and availability to decrease. For large capacitance requirements need to use large number of Tantalums (bank array), with increasing reliability issues, compared to one or two SCs for same application. 25 Pulse Power on Demand!

The Challenge Batteries that power Smart Meters are limited to low currents and in most cases can't drive high current pulses for wireless communication Solution Thanks to their low ESR and high power density Supercapacitors or Tantalums, implemented in parallel to batteries, able to deliver high current pulses 27 Pulse Power on Demand!

Notes: Based on Cellergy’s knowledge Manufacturer list is partial No standard on capacitance requirement (40 mF to 7F) Application example – GSM band solution Pulse Requirement for GSM Transmission Pulse peak – 2A Pulse width - 577µs Battery voltage – 3.6V Operating voltage – 3V Maximum voltage drop – 0.6V The Challenge: Battery unable to drive required pulse The Solution: SC or Tantalum connected in parallel to the battery deliver the pulse Conclusion: It forces HW designer to use capacitors with at least 6mF capacitance. 29 Pulse Power on Demand! Smart Metering Application – GSM band solution Background: GSM transmissions are composed of short power bursts with a high current 2A. Battery voltage is 3.6V. GSM transmitter operates at working voltage of 3V when the maximum current pulse is 2-3A. The regular battery is unable to drive current of 2A due to its high internal resistance. The solution is to connect SC or tantalum capacitor in parallel to the battery. Due to their low ESR and high capacitance 2A current pulse will be supported. Working voltage of 3V and current consumption of 2A define the maximum voltage drop of 0.6V (3.6V -3.0V) on the GSM transmitter working voltage. Capacitor voltage drop calculation: V_drop = I*ESR + ∆t*I/C When: Parameter Definition ESR Equivalent Serial Resistance I GSM pulse Drawn pulse current ∆t Pulse duration C Capacitance Conclusion: It forces HW designer to use capacitors with at least 6mF capacitance. 30 Pulse Power on Demand!

Smart Metering Application – ISM band solution Background: ISM transmissions are composed of long ( 100’s milliseconds) power bursts with a current consumption of 10’s mA. Battery voltage is 3.6V. ISM transmitter operates at working voltage of 3V when the regular current pulse is 20-30mA. Current of 30mA can cause high voltage drop on battery due to its high internal resistance. The solution is to connect SC or tantalum capacitor in parallel to the battery. Due to their low ESR and high capacitance the voltage drop will be reduced dramatically. Working voltage of 3V and current consumption of 30mA define the maximum voltage drop of 0.6V (3.6V -3.0V) on the ISM transmitter working voltage. Capacitor voltage drop calculation: V_drop = I*ESR + ∆t*I/C When: Parameter Definition ISM Pulse ESRGSM pulse Equivalent Serial Resistance I Drawn pulse current 30mA ∆t Pulse duration 200msec C Capacitance Conclusion: It forces HW designer to use capacitors with at least 15mF capacitance. 32 Pulse Power on Demand!
