The KO-CAP is a Tantalum capacitor, with Ta
anode and Ta2O5 dielectric. However, a conductive,
organic, polymer replaces the MnO2 as the cathode
plate of the capacitor. This results in very low ESR
and improved cap retention at high frequency. The
KO-CAP also exhibits a benign failure mode, which
eliminates the ignition failures that can occur in standard
MnO2 Tantalum types. Note also that KO-CAPs
may be operated at voltages up to 90% of rated
voltage for part types with rated voltage ¡Ü 10 volts
and up to 80% of rated voltage for part types > 10
volts with equivalent or better reliability than standard
tantalums operated at 50% of
rated voltage.
The T520 series captures the best features of multilayer
ceramic caps (low ESR and high frequency
cap retention), aluminum electrolytics (benign failure
mode), and proven solid tantalum technology (volumetric
efficiency, surface mount capability, and no
wearout mechanism). The KO-CAP can reduce
component counts, eliminate through-hole assembly
by replacing cumbersome leaded aluminum
capacitors, and offer a more cost effective solution
to high-cost high-cap ceramic capacitors. These
benefits allow the designer to save both board
space and money.
