Aluminum Organic Capacitor (AO-CAP) A720 Polymer Aluminum Overview The KEMET Aluminum Organic Capacitor (AO-CAP) Since there is no liquid electrolyte, the A720 offers long is a solid state aluminum capacitor. The cathode is a operational lifetimes, low ESR and high operational conductive organic polymer, which results in very low ESR temperatures. The inherent low ESR renders the A720 and improved capacitance retention at a high frequency. suitable for high ripple current handling. The small AO-CAPs may be operated at steady state voltages up package size, high ripple current capability, high operating to100% of rated voltage without the need to de-rate. temperature, low parasistics, and high capacitance make the A720 ideal for high performance microprocessor, FPGA, and ASIC decoupling designs. Benefits Polymer cathode technology High frequency capacitance retention Non-ignition failure mode 100% accelerated steady state aging 100% surge current tested Volumetric efficiency Minimum ESR up to m Voltage: 2 35 V Capacitance: 22 470 F Applications Typical applications include DC/DC converters, notebook PCs, telecommunications, displays, and industrial applications.
