Vishay's new 196HVC ENYCAP series hybrid energy storage capacitors. This device provides electronics designers with the best energy / volume ratings on the market today and enhances charge and discharge performance for energy harvesting and power line backup applications.
ENYCAP series polarized storage capacitors have high capacity and high energy density, and are an alternative to rechargeable backup batteries. Capacitors can self-discharge for months, and no battery balancing is required due to the use of specialized know-how. The ENYCAP series provides soft charging and low leakage current of less than 1A after 24 hours (IL) from 0.03mA to 0.24mA.
For design flexibility, the 196HVC ENYCAP series is available in multiple configurations, including flat surface mount, stacked through-holes, and flat placement with wires and connectors. The rated voltage also has the flexibility of 1.4V (single battery) versions and 2.8V, 4.2V, 5.6V, 7V and 8.4V multi-battery models. The flat (2.5mm) design of these new Vishay hybrid storage capacitors is suitable for compact and portable designs. Suitable applications include power backup, flash backup, RAID system, SRAM, DRAM for memory controllers; power failure and write cache protection for enterprise SSDs and HDDs; backup power supplies for industrial PCs and controls; storage devices for energy harvesting ; Emergency lights and micro-UPS power; the company says it provides burst power support for flashes and wireless transmitters.
