## **INTRODUCING** 

## **BESTCAP[®] : A NEW GENERATION OF PULSE SUPERCAPACITORS** 

Supercapacitors (also referred to as Electrochemical Capacitors or Double Layer Capacitors) have rapidly become recognized, not only as an excellent compromise between “electronic” or “dielectric” capacitors such as ceramic, tantalum, film and aluminum electrolytic, and batteries (Figure 1), but also as a valuable technology for providing a unique combination of characteristics, particularly very high energy, power and capacitance densities. 

There are, however, two limitations associated with conventional supercapacitors, namely: high ESR in the tens of Ohms range, and high capacitance loss when required to supply very short duration current pulses. BestCap[®] successfully addresses both of these limitations. 

The capacitance loss in the millisecond region is caused by the charge transfer (i.e. establishment of capacitance) being carried out primarily by relatively slow moving ions in double layer capacitors.

In the above-mentioned “electronic” capacitors, the charge transfer is performed by fast electrons, thereby creating virtually instant rated capacitance value. In the BestCap[®] , a unique proton polymer membrane is used – charge transfer by protons is close to the transfer rate for electrons and orders of magnitude greater than organic molecules. Figure 2 below illustrates the severe capacitance loss experienced 

by several varieties of supercapacitors, under short pulse width conditions. It can also be seen from Figure 2, how well BestCap[®] retains its capacitance with reducing pulse widths. For comparison purposes, the characteristic of an equivalent capacitance value aluminum electrolytic capacitor is shown in Figure 2. The electrolytic capacitor is many times the volume of the BestCap[®] .

## **2.8  CLEANING** 

The BestCap[®] supercapacitor is cleaned prior to shipment. Should cleaning be required prior to insertion into the application, it is recommended to use a small amount of propanol taking care not to remove the label. The cell should not be immersed due to possible deterioration of the epoxy encapsulation. Care must also be taken not to bend the leads. 

## **2.9  HANDLING** 

Care should be taken not to allow grease or oil into the part as it may lead to soldering problems. Handling should be minimized to reduce possible bending of the electrodes leads. 

## **2.10  STORAGE CONDITIONS** 

AVX BestCap[®] supercapacitor are unaffected by the following storage conditions. 

Temperature: 15°C ~ 35°C Humidity: 45% RH ~ 75% RH 

This temperature and humidity range is specified for consideration of terminal solderability. BestCap[®] are able to withstand shelf life at 70ºC for 1000 hours.

## **2.13  PRODUCT SAFETY MATERIALS HANDLING** 

## **Precautions** 

- Do not disassemble the capacitor. 

- Do not incinerate the capacitor and do not use incineration for disposal. 

- The capacitor contains polymeric electrolyte and carbon electrodes. However, since the polymer is composed of acid based chemical ingredients, if punctured or dismantled and the skin is contacted with the capacitor 

internal components, it is recommended to wash the skin with excess of running water. 

- If any internal material contacts the eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water. 

- Be aware not to apply over-voltage. Combination of charging at voltage greater than the nominal, plus high temperature, plus prolonged time may result in capacitor bulging or rupturing.

## **SECTION 4: APPLICATION NOTES** 

## **4.1: ELECTROCHEMICAL EDLC VS. ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY - BESTCAP[®] CONSTRUCTION** 

To understand the benefits offered by the BestCap[®] , it is necessary to examine how an electrochemical capacitor works. The most significant difference between an electronic capacitor and an electrochemical capacitor is that the charge transfer is carried out by the electrons in the former and by electrons and ions in the latter. The anions and cations involved in double layer supercapacitors are contained in the electrolyte which maybe liquid, (normally an aqueous or organic solution) or solid. The solid electrolyte is almost universally a conductive polymer. 

## **4.2: VOLTAGE DROP** 

Two factors are critical in determining the voltage drop when a capacitor delivers a short current pulse; these are ESR and “available” capacitance as shown in Figure 4.

Electrons are relatively fast moving and therefore transfer charge “instantly”. However, ions have to move relatively slowly from anode to cathode, and hence a finite time is needed to establish the full nominal capacitance of the device. This nominal capacitance is normally measured at 1 second. 

The differences between EDLC (Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors) and electronic capacitors are summarized in the table below: 

- A capacitor basically consists of two conductive plates (electrodes), separated by a layer of dielectric material. 

- These dielectric materials may be ceramic, plastic film, paper, aluminum oxide, etc. 

- EDLCs do not use a discrete dielectric interphase separating the electrodes. 

- EDLCs utilize the charge separation, which is formed across the electrode – electrolyte interface. 

- The EDLC constitutes of two types of charge carriers: IONIC species on the ELECTROLYTE side and ELECTRONIC species on the ELECTRODE side. 

_Figure 4. Voltage-time relation of capacitor unit_ 

The instant voltage drop ΔVESR is caused by and is directly proportional to the capacitor’s ESR. The continuing voltage drop with time ΔVC, is a function of the available charge, i.e. capacitance. From Figures 3 and 4, it is apparent that, for very short current pulses, e.g. in the millisecond region, the combination of voltage drops in a conventional supercapacitor caused by a) the high ESR and b) the lack of available capacitance, causes a total voltage drop, unacceptable for most applications. Now compare the BestCap[®] performance under such pulse conditions. The ultra-low ESR (in milliOhms), minimizes the instantaneous voltage drop, while the very high retained capacitance drastically reduces the severity of the charge related drop. This is explained further in a later section. 

## **EFFICIENCY/TALKTIME BENEFITS OF BESTCAP[®]** 

Since BestCap[®] , when used in parallel with a battery, provides a current pulse with a substantially higher voltage than that available just from the battery as shown in Figure 5, the efficiency of the RF power amplifier is improved.

_Figure 5. GSM Pulse_ 

Additionally, the higher-than battery voltage supplied by the BestCap[®] keeps the voltage pulse above the “cut off voltage” limit for a significantly longer time than is the case for the battery alone. This increase in “talk time” is demonstrated in Figures 6(a) (Li-Ion at +25°C), and 6(b) (Li-Ion at 0°C).

As mentioned earlier, the voltage drop in a circuit is critical as the circuit will not operate below a certain cut-off voltage. There are two sources of voltage drop (ΔV) which occur, the first ΔVESR is because of the equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the second, called the capacitive drop, is ΔVC. From Ohm’s law, 

voltage = current x resistance or V = IR 

Let us say that the instantaneous starting voltage is Vo, or voltage for the circuit from where the voltage drops. If the capacitor has an ESR of 100 milliOhms and the current is 1 amp, 

ΔVESR = 1 amp x (0.100) ohms = 0.1 volts or 100 milli-volts. On demand, during the discharge mode, the voltage V = Vo - ΔVESR = (Vo - 0.1) volts 

The second voltage drop is because of the capacitance. This is shown in the equation as a linear function because of simplicity. Simply put, 

Q (charge) = C (capacitance) x V (voltage) 

The derivative, dQ/dt = I (current, in amps) = C x dV/dt Hence, ΔVC (dV, the voltage drop because of capacitance) = I x dt/C. This formula states that the larger the capacitance value the lower the voltage drop. Compared to a Ta capacitor this ΔVC is reduced by a factor of about 10 to 100. So, BestCap[®] has an advantage where higher capacitance is needed. If the current pulse itself is 1 amp, the current pulse width is 1 second, and the capacitance is 10 millifarads, the ΔVC = 1A x 1Sec/0.01F, or a 100 volts; such an application is out of the range of BestCap[®] . However, if the pulse width becomes narrower, say 10 milli-seconds, and the capacitance is 100 millifarads, the ΔVC = 1 x (10/1000)/(100/1000) = 0.1 volt or 100 milli-volts. This shows the advantage of the large capacitance and hence the term “pulse” capacitor. The specific power – specific energy graphs are used in the battery industry to compare competitive products. As the dt becomes smaller i.e.100 milliseconds, 10 milliseconds and then 1 millisecond, our estimates show that the specific power for the BestCap[®] is the highest as compared to our competitors because of our choice of internal materials chemistry. 

Conclusion: we now clearly show that BestCap[®] has an advantage over competitors for short current pulse whose widths are smaller than a few hundred milliseconds.

## **4.3 ENHANCING THE POWER CAPABILITY OF PRIMARY BATTERIES** 

When electronic equipment is powered by a primary (non rechargeable) battery, one of the limitations is the power capability of the battery. 

In order to increase the available current from the battery, while maintaining a constant voltage drop across the battery terminals, the designer must connect additional cells in parallel leading to increased size and cost of both the battery and the finished product. 

When high power is only required for short periods more sophisticated approaches can be considered. The traditional approach involves using a high power rechargeable battery, charged by a low power primary cell. 

A far superior solution, however, is the use of a BestCap[®] Supercapacitor, which is a device specifically designed to deliver high power. 

## **Traditional design:**

BestCap[®] Supercapacitor benefits to the designer are: 

- Substantially lower voltage drop for pulse durations of up to 100msec. 

- Substantially lower voltage drop at cold temperatures (–20°C). 

- Discharge current limited only by the ESR of the capacitor 

The following analysis compares a primary battery connected in parallel to a Lithium Tionil Chloride, to the same primary battery connected to a BestCap[®] Supercapacitor. Various current pulses (amplitude and duration) are applied in each case.

## **4.4 BESTCAP FOR GSM/GPRS PCMCIA MODEMS** 

There is an increasing usage of PCMCIA modem cards for wireless LAN and WAN (Wide Area Network) applications. 

The PCMCIA card is used as an accessory to Laptops and PDAs, and enables wide area mobile Internet access, including all associated applications like Email and file transfer. 

With the wide spread use of GSM networks, a PCMCIA GSM modem is a commonly used solution. To achieve higher speed data rates, GSM networks are now being upgraded to support the GPRS standard. 

## The design challenge: 

GSM/GPRS transmission requires a current of approximately 2A for the pulse duration. The PCMCIA bus cannot supply this amount of pulsed current. Therefore, there is a need for a relatively large capacitance to bridge the gap. 

The capacitor supplies the pulse current to the transmitter and is charged by a low current during the interval between pulses.

It is assumed that during the pulse, 0.5A is delivered by the battery, and 1.5A by the capacitor. 

Conclusion: High capacitance is needed to minimize voltage drop. A high value capacitance, even with a higher ESR, results in a lower voltage drop. Low voltage drop minimizes the conductive and emitted electro magnetic interference, and increases transmitter output power and efficiency.
