**GY13R0/GY26R0 SERIES DATASHEET** 

## **Measurement of capacitance** 

Capacitance is measured at 25C using the method specified by IEC62391 shown in Fig 1. This measures DC capacitance. The capacitor is charged to rated voltage, VR, at constant current, held at rated voltage for at least 30 minutes and then discharged at constant current. The time taken to discharge from 0.8 x VR to 0.4 x VR is measured to calculate capacitance as: 

**==> picture [125 x 12] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
C = I x (T1 – T2)/(V1 – V2)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


**Fig 1: Capacitance measurement** 

In this case, C = 1A*(19.862-6.183)s/(2.4 - 1.2)V = 11.4F, which is well within the 10F +30% / - 10% tolerance for a GY13R010024V106R cell.

**GY13R0/GY26R0 SERIES DATASHEET** 

## **Measurement of DC ESR** 

Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) is measured at 25C by applying a step load current to the supercapacitor and measuring the resulting voltage drop. CAP-XX waits for a delay of 200µs after the step current is applied to ensure the voltage and current have settled. In this case, for a GY13R010024V106R the ESR is measured as 29mV/1.05A = 27.6mΩ, well below the specified maximum of 40mΩ.

**GY13R0/GY26R0 SERIES DATASHEET** 

## **Measurement of Leakage Current** 

Leakage current is measured by holding the supercapacitor at rated voltage at 25C and measuring the current drawn through a high value resistor, typically 1KΩ or 2.2KΩ. The leakage current decays over time as shown in Fig 3 which shows the leakage current for multiple samples of 1F, 2F, 5F and 10F supercapacitors. Leakage current settles to its minimum value after ~120hrs and is typically 2µA/F however the datasheet quotes the maximum values after 72hrs at rated voltage.

## **Variation in DC Capacitance and ESR with temperature** 

Figure 4 shows that DC capacitance does not vary significantly over the operating temperature range of -40C to +65C. 

**Fig 4: Variation in DC Capacitance over the operating temperature range** 

Figure 5 shows variation in DC ESR over the operating temperature range. 

**Fig 5: Variation in DC ESR over the operating temperature range** 

From Figure 5, ESRDC at -40C is between ~1.1x to 1.8x the ESRDC at room temperature. ESRDC at 65C is 70% to 90% of ESRDC at room temperature. The variation in ESR with temperature is due to the change in the mobility of ions in solution in the electrolyte.

**GY13R0/GY26R0 SERIES DATASHEET** 

## **Peak Current** 

Peak current is limited by Vrated/(ESRDC + RL) where RL is the load resistance including parasitic resistance such as PCB traces. The current then decays and is given by: 

[Vrated/(ESRDC + RL)].e[-t/[(ESR] DC[+RL).C]] 

where t = time in seconds. At high peak current, the supercapacitor discharges rapidly so that self heating due to the high current is negligible. Table 1 Shows short circuit current for a range of supercapacitors initially charged to 3V at the instant the short circuit is applied and after 100ms. It also shows the temperature increase recorded due to the short circuit.

In all cases the temperature rise is not significant. A one-time peak current pulse is only limited by the ESRDC + Load resistance, not by any thermal limitations. 

The voltage drop when a constant current pulse of duration  is applied = 

VINIT – VFINAL= I.ESRDC + I./C 

## Where: 

I = constant current 

 = duration of constant current 

VINIT = the initial voltage when the current pulse is first applied 

VFINAL = the supercap voltage at the end of the pulse 

Re-arranging terms, the maximum current that can be sustained for a time , when the supercapacitor is initially charged to rated voltage, VR, and discharged to VMIN, the minimum voltage that supports the given application =

## **Maximum Continuous Current** 

Continuous current flow into/out of the supercapacitor will cause self-heating, which limits the maximum continuous current the supercapacitor can withstand. This is measured by a current square wave with 50% duty cycle, charging the supercapacitor to rated voltage, VR, at a constant current, and then discharging the supercapacitor to a half rated voltage VR/2 at the same constant current value. For a square wave with 50% duty cycle, the RMS current is the same as the current amplitude. Fig 6 shows the increase in temperature as a function of RMS current for various GY13R0 series supercapacitors. 

**Fig 6: Self heating with RMS current for various supercapacitors** 

From Fig 6, the maximum RMS current in an application can be calculated. For example, if the ambient temperature is 40C, and the maximum operating temperature for the supercapacitor is 65C, then the maximum RMS current for a 10F supercapacitor should be limited to 4.4A, which causes a 25C temperature increase.

## **GY13R0/GY26R0 SERIES DATASHEET** 

## **Effective capacitance (Ceff)** 

**Fig 7: Discharge pulse illustrating the concept of Ceff** 

In Fig 7, consider the voltage drop due to capacitance for the 10F GY13R010030M106R after 10ms = 2.957– 2.949V = 8mV. Therefore Ceff(10ms) = Discharge_Current x 10ms/Voltage drop(10ms) = 1.05A x 0.01s/0.008V = 1.3F or 13% of DC Capacitance. The voltage drop due to capacitance after 100ms = 2.957V – 2.927V = 30mV. Ceff(100ms) = 1.05A x 0.1s/0.03V = 3.5F or 35% of DC capacitance. Fig 10 shows Ceff as a % of DC capacitance for the GY13R0 series of supercapacitors.

## **GY13R0/GY26R0 SERIES DATASHEET** 

**Fig 8: Typical range of effective capacitance for GY13R0 series supercapacitors** 

For any given pulse width, T, with a constant discharge current IDISCH, the voltage drop is given by: 

Vdrop = IDISCH x ESR + IDISCH x T/Ceff(T) 

Where Ceff(T) = DC capacitance x % at time T read from Fig 8. 

Shorter pulses need less capacitance to support them, so the supercapacitors can support short pulses despite their frequency response. 

## **Storage** 

CAP-XX recommends storing supercapacitors in their original packaging in an air conditioned room, preferably at < 30C and < 50% relative humidity. CAP-XX supercapacitors can be stored at any temperature not exceeding their maximum operating temperature but storage at continuous high temperature and humidity is not recommended and will cause premature ageing. 

Do not store supercapacitors in the following environments: 

- High temperature / high humidity 

- Direct sunlight 

- In direct contact with water, salt, oil or other chemicals 

- In direct contact with corrosive materials, acids, alkalis or toxic gases 

- Dusty environment 

- In environments subjected to shock and vibration

## **Soldering** 

When soldering it is important to not over-heat the supercapacitor to not adversely affect its performance. CAP-XX recommends that only the leads come in contact with solder and not the supercapacitor body. 

## Hand Soldering 

Heat transfers from the leads into to the supercapacitor body, so the soldering iron temperature should be < 350C soldering time should be kept to the minimum possible and be less than 4 seconds. 

## Wave Soldering 

The PCB should be pre-heated only from the bottom and for < 60 secs with temperature ≤ 100C on the top side of the board for PCBs ≥ 0.8mm thick. The table below lists suggested solder temperatures. 

Solder temperature C Suggested solder time (s) 220 7 240 7 250 5 ~~SE~~ 260 3 Reflow Soldering Infrared or conveyor oven soldering techniques can be used providing the supercapacitor body is not subject to temperatures > 65C. Do not use a standard reflow oven. 

## **Transportation** 

All the supercapacitor cells in this datasheet store < 0.3Wh energy. The energy in watt-hours is calculated as: ½ x Capacitance x Vrated[2] /3600. The largest cell in this range is 180F, so stored energy = ½ x 180 x 3[2] /3600 = 0.225Wh. Under regulation UN3499 there is no restriction on shipping these supercapacitors. Their shipping description is “Electrical Capacitors” with harmonized shipping code 8532.29.0040.
