AVX Paignton is the Divisional Headquarters for the Tantalum division which has manufacturing locations in Paignton in the UK, Biddeford in Maine, USA, Juarez in Mexico, Lanskroun in the Czech Republic and El Salvador. The Division takes its name from the raw material used to make its main products, Tantalum Capacitors. Tantalum is an element extracted from ores found alongside tin and niobium deposits; the major sources of supply are Canada, Brazil and Australasia. So for high volume tantalum capacitors with leading edge technology call us first - AVX your global partner. The amount of capacitance possible in a tantalum capacitor is directly related to the type of tantalum powder used to manufacture the anode. The graph following shows how the CV/g has steadily increased over time, thus allowing the production of larger and larger capacitances with the same physical volume. CV/g is the measure used to define the volumetric efficiency of a powder, a high CV/g means a higher capacitance from the same volume. These improvements in the powder have been achieved through close development with the material suppliers. AVX Tantalum is committed to driving the available technology forwards as is clearly identified by the new TACmicrochip technology and the standard codes under development. If you have any specific requirements, please contact your local AVX sales office for details on how AVX Tantalum can assist you in addressing your future requirements. TECHNOLOGY TRENDS 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 Year CV/g ('000s) In line with our desire to become the number one supplier in the world for passive and interconnection components, AVX constantly feels the need to look forward and innovate. It is not good enough to market the best products, the customer must have access to a service system which suits their needs and benefits their business. The AVX ‘one stop shopping’ concept is already beneficial in meeting the needs of major OEMs while worldwide partnerships with only the premier division of distributors aids the smaller user. Helping to market the breadth and depth of our electronic component line card and support our customers are a dedicated team of commercial sales people, applications engineers and product marketing managers. Their qualifica- tions are hopefully always appropriate to your commercial need, but as higher levels of technical expertise are required, access directly to the appropriate department is seamless and transparent. Total quality starts and finishes with our customer service, and where cost and quality are perceived as given quantities the AVX service invariably has us selected as the preferred supplier. Facilities are equipped with instant worldwide computer and telecommunication links connected to every sales and pro- duction site worldwide. That ensures that our customers delivery requirements are consistently met wherever in the world they may be. WORKING WITH THE CUSTOMER - ONE STOP SHOPPING Tantalum Powder CV/gm

AVX’s focus is CUSTOMER satisfaction - customer satisfac- tion in the broadest sense: product quality, technical support, product availability and all at a competitive price. In pursuance of the ethos and established goals of our corporate wide QV2000 program, it is the stated objective of AVX Tantalum to supply our customers with a world class service in the manufacturing and supplying of electronic components which will result in an adequate return on investment. This world class service shall be defined as consistently supplying product and services of the highest quality and reliability. This should encompass, but not be restricted to all aspects of the customer supply chain. In addition any new or changed products, processes or services will be qualified to established standards of quality and reliability. The objectives and guidelines listed above shall be achieved by the following codes of practice: Continual objective evaluation of customer needs and expectations for the future and the leverage of all AVX resources to meet this challenge. 2. By continually fostering and promoting culture of continu- ous improvement through ongoing training and empowered participation of employees at all levels of the company. 3. By Continuous Process Improvement using sound engi- neering principles to enhance existing equipment, material and processes. This will involve the application of the science of S.P .C. focused on improving the Process Capability Index, Cpk. All AVX Tantalum manufacturing locations are ISO9000 approved and Paignton is approved to QS9000 - Automotive Quality System Requirements. QUALITY STATEMENTS

Length “S” Min “Regular” (0.050±0.005) (0.050±0.005) (0.130±0.005) (0.105±0.005) TAZ Series The TAZ molded surface mount series is designed for use in applications utilizing either solder, conductive adhesive or ther- mal compression bonding techniques. Case sizes (A through H) are compatible with CWR06 pad layouts and are qualified as the CWR09 style. The two styles are interchangeable per MIL-C-55365/4. Each chip is marked with polarity, capacitance code and rated voltage. There are three termination finishes available: fused solder plated (standard) (“K” per MIL-C-55365), hot solder dipped (“C”) and gold plated (“B”). In addition, the molding compound has been selected to meet the flammability requirements of UL94V-O and outgassing requirements of NASA SP-R-0022A. Additional special case sizes are available. Contact your local sales office for details. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS NOTE: For solder coated terminations add 0.38 (0.015) max. to length and height dimensions.

1.1 CAPACITANCE

1.1.1 Rated capacitance (CR). This is the nominal rated capacitance. For tantalum capaci- tors it is measured as the capacitance of the equivalent series circuit at 20°C using a measuring bridge supplied by a 0.5Vpk-pk 120Hz sinusoidal signal, free of harmonics with a maximum bias of 2.2Vd.c. 1.1.2 Capacitance tolerance. This is the permissible variation of the actual value of the capacitance from the rated value. For additional reading, please consult the AVX technical publication "Capacitance Tolerances for Solid Tantalum Capacitors". 1.1.3 Temperature dependence of capacitance. The capacitance of a tantalum capacitor varies with temper- ature. This variation itself is dependent to a small extent on the rated voltage and capacitor size. 1.1.4 Frequency dependence of the capacitance. The effective capacitance decreases as frequency increases. Beyond 100KHz the capacitance continues to drop until res- onance is reached (typically between 0.5 - 5MHz depending on the rating). Beyond the resonant frequency the device becomes inductive.

1.2 VOLTAGE

1.2.1 Rated d.c. voltage (VR) This is the rated d.c. voltage for continuous operation at 85°C.

1.2.2 Category voltage (VC)

This is the maximum voltage that may be applied continu- ously to a capacitor. It is equal to the rated voltage up to +85°C, beyond which it is subject to a linear derating, to 2/3 V R at 125°C.

1.2.3 Surge voltage (VS)

This is the highest voltage that may be applied to a capaci- tor for short periods of time. The surge voltage may be applied up to 10 times in an hour for periods of up to 30 seconds at a time. The surge voltage must not be used as a parameter in the design of circuits in which, in the normal course of operation, the capacitor is periodically charged and discharged.

1.2.4 Effect of surges

The solid Tantalum capacitor has a limited ability to withstand voltage and current surges. This is in common with all other electrolytic capacitors and is due to the fact that they oper- ate under very high electrical stress across the dielectric. For example a 25 volt capacitor has an Electrical Field of 147 KV/mm when operated at rated voltage.

It is important to ensure that the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor never exceeds the specified surge voltage rating. Solid tantalum capacitors have a self healing ability provided by the Manganese Dioxide semiconducting layer used as the negative plate. However, this is limited in low impedance applications. In the case of low impedance circuits, the capacitor is likely to be stressed by current surges. Derating the capacitor by 50% or more increases the reliability of the component. (See Figure 2 page 37). The “AVX Recommended Derating Table” (page 38) summarizes voltage rating for use on common voltage rails, in low impedance applications. In circuits which undergo rapid charge or discharge a pro- tective resistor of 1Ω /V is recommended. If this is impossible, a derating factor of up to 70% should be used. In such situations a higher voltage may be needed than is available as a single capacitor. A series combination should be used to increase the working voltage of the equivalent capacitor: For example two 22µF 25V parts in series is equiv- alent to one 11µF 50V part. For further details refer to J.A. Gill’s paper “Investigation into the effects of connecting Tantalum capacitors in series”, available from AVX offices worldwide. NOTE: While testing a circuit (e.g. at ICT or functional) it is likely that the capacitors will be subjected to large voltage and current transients, which will not be seen in normal use. These con- ditions should be borne in mind when considering the capacitor’s rated voltage for use. These can be controlled by ensuring a correct test resistance is used. 1.2.5 Reverse voltage and Non-Polar operation. The values quoted are the maximum levels of reverse voltage which should appear on the capacitors at any time. These limits are based on the assumption that the capacitors are polarized in the correct direction for the majority of their working life. They are intended to cover short term reversals of polarity such as those occurring during switching tran- sients of during a minor portion of an impressed waveform. Continuous application of reverse voltage without normal polarization will result in a degradation of leakage current. In conditions under which continuous application of a reverse voltage could occur two similar capacitors should be used in a back-to-back configuration with the negative terminations connected together. Under most conditions this combination will have a capacitance one half of the nominal capacitance of either capacitor. Under conditions of isolated pulses or during the first few cycles, the capacitance may approach the full nominal value. The reverse voltage ratings are designed to cover exception- al conditions of small level excursions into incorrect polarity. The values quoted are not intended to cover continuous reverse operation. The peak reverse voltage applied to the capacitor must not exceed: 10% of the rated d.c. working voltage to a maximum of 1.0v at 25°C 3% of the rated d.c. working voltage to a maximum of 0.5v at 85°C 1% of the category d.c. working voltage to a maximum of 0.1v at 125°C Ripple Voltage. This is the maximum r.m.s. alternating voltage; superim- posed on a d.c. voltage, that may be applied to a capacitor. The sum of the d.c. voltage and peak value of the super-imposed a.c. voltage must not exceed the category voltage, Vc. Full details are given in Section 2. 1.2.7 Forming voltage. This is the voltage at which the anode oxide is formed. The thickness of this oxide layer is proportional to the formation voltage for a tantalum capacitor and is a factor in setting the rated voltage.

1.3 DISSIPATION FACTOR AND

TANGENT OF LOSS ANGLE (TAN d) Dissipation factor is the measurement of the tangent of the loss angle (tan d) expressed as a percentage. The measure- ment of DF is carried out using a measuring bridge which supplies a 0.5Vpk-pk 120Hz sinusoidal signal, free of har- monics with a maximum bias of 2.2Vdc. The value of DF is temperature and frequency dependent. Note: For surface mounted products the maximum allowed DF values are indicated in the ratings table and it is important to note that these are the limits met by the component AFTER soldering onto the substrate. 1.3.2 Tangent of Loss Angle (tan d). This is a measurement of the energy loss in the capacitor. It is expressed as tan d and is the power loss of the capacitor divided by its reactive power at a sinusoidal voltage of spec- ified frequency. Terms also used are power factor, loss factor and dielectric loss. Cos (90 - d) is the true power factor. The measurement of tan d is carried out using a measuring bridge which supplies a 0.5Vpk-pk 120Hz sinusoidal signal, free of harmonics with a maximum bias of 2.2Vdc. Technical Summary and Application Guidelines

1.3.3 Frequency dependence of Dissipation Factor. Dissipation Factor increases with frequency as shown in the typical curves:

1.3.4 Temperature dependence of Dissipation

Factor. Dissipation factor varies with temperature as the typical curves show. For maximum limits please refer to ratings tables.

1.4 IMPEDANCE, (Z) AND EQUIVALENT

SERIES RESISTANCE (ESR) 1.4.1 Impedance, Z. This is the ratio of voltage to current at a specified frequency. Three factors contribute to the impedance of a tantalum capacitor; the resistance of the semiconductor layer; the capacitance value and the inductance of the electrodes and leads. At high frequencies the inductance of the leads becomes a limiting factor. The temperature and frequency behavior of these three factors of impedance determine the behavior of the impedance Z. The impedance is measured at 20°C and 100kHz. 1.4.2 Equivalent Series Resistance, ESR. Resistance losses occur in all practical forms of capacitors. These are made up from several different mechanisms, including resistance in components and contacts, viscous forces within the dielectric and defects producing bypass current paths. To express the effect of these losses they are considered as the ESR of the capacitor. The ESR is frequency dependent and can be found by using the relationship; ESR = tan d 2πfC Where f is the frequency in Hz, and C is the capacitance in farads. The ESR is measured at 20°C and 100kHz. ESR is one of the contributing factors to impedance, and at high frequencies (100kHz and above) it becomes the dominant factor. Thus ESR and impedance become almost identical, impedance being only marginally higher. 1.4.3 Frequency dependence of Impedance and ESR. ESR and Impedance both increase with decreasing frequency. At lower frequencies the values diverge as the extra contri- butions to impedance (due to the reactance of the capacitor) become more significant. Beyond 1MHz (and beyond the resonant point of the capacitor) impedance again increases due to the inductance of the capacitor.

1.4.4 Temperature dependence of the Impedance

and ESR. At 100kHz, impedance and ESR behave identically and decrease with increasing temperature as the typical curves show. 1.5 D.C. LEAKAGE CURRENT 1.5.1 Leakage current. The leakage current is dependent on the voltage applied, the elapsed time since the voltage was applied and the component temperature. It is measured at +20°C with the rated voltage applied. A protective resistance of 1000 Ω is connected in series with the capacitor in the measuring circuit. Three to five minutes after application of the rated voltage the leakage current must not exceed the maximum values indicated in the ratings table. These are based on the formulae 0.01CV or 0.5µA (whichever is the greater). Reforming of tantalum capacitors is unnecessary even after prolonged storage periods without the application of voltage.

1.5.2 Temperature dependence of the leakage

current. The leakage current increases with higher temperatures, typical values are shown in the graph. For operation between 85°C and 125°C, the maximum working voltage must be derated and can be found from the following formula. Vmax = x1- (T - 85)c x VRvolts, where T is the required 125 operating temperature. 1.5.3 Voltage dependence of the leakage current. The leakage current drops rapidly below the value corre- sponding to the rated voltage VR when reduced voltages are applied. The effect of voltage derating on the leakage current is shown in the graph. This will also give a significant increase in the reliability for any application. See Section 3.1 for details. For additional information on Leakage Current, please consult the AVX technical publication "Analysis of Solid Tantalum Capacitor Leakage Current" by R. W. Franklin. 1.5.4 Ripple current. The maximum ripple current allowed can be calculated from the power dissipation limits for a given temperature rise above ambient temperature (please refer to Section 2).

In an a.c. application heat is generated within the capacitor by both the a.c. component of the signal (which will depend upon the signal form, amplitude and frequency), and by the d.c. leakage. For practical purposes the second factor is insignificant. The actual power dissipated in the capacitor is calculated using the formula: P = I 2 R and substituting P = E 2 R where I = rms ripple current, amperes R = equivalent series resistance, ohms E = rms ripple voltage, volts P = power dissipated, watts Z = impedance, ohms, at frequency under consideration Maximum a.c. ripple voltage (E max). From the previous equation: Where P is the maximum permissible power dissipated as listed for the product under consideration (see tables). However care must be taken to ensure that: 1. The d.c. working voltage of the capacitor must not be exceeded by the sum of the positive peak of the applied 2. The sum of the applied d.c. bias voltage and the negative peak of the a.c. voltage must not allow a voltage reversal in excess of the “Reverse Voltage”. Historical ripple calculations. Previous ripple current and voltage values were calculated using an empirically derived power dissipation required to give a 10°C rise of the capacitors body temperature from room temperature, usually in free air. These values are shown in Table I. Equation 1 then allows the maximum ripple current to be established, and Equation 2, the maximum ripple voltage. But as has been shown in the AVX article on thermal management by I. Salisbury, the thermal conductivity of a Tantalum chip capacitor varies considerably depending upon how it is mounted.

OPERATION, RIPPLE VOLTAGE AND RIPPLE CURRENT

A piece of equipment was designed which would pass sine and square wave currents of varying amplitudes through a biased capacitor. The temperature rise seen on the body for the capacitor was then measured using an infra-red probe. This ensured that there was no heat loss through any ther- mocouple attached to the capacitor’s surface. Results for the C, D and E case sizes Several capacitors were tested and the combined results are shown here. All these capacitors were measured on FR4 board, with no other heatsinking. The ripple was supplied at various frequencies from 1KHz to 1MHz. As can be seen in the figure above, the average P max value for the C case capacitors was 0.11 Watts. This is the same as that quoted in Table I. The D case capacitors gave an average P max value 0.125 Watts. This is lower than the value quoted in the Table I by 0.025 Watts. The E case capacitors gave an average P max of 0.200 Watts which was much higher than the 0.165 Watts from Table I. If a typical capacitor’s ESR with frequency is considered, e.g. figure below, it can be seen that there is variation. Thus for a set ripple current, the amount of power to be dissipated by the capacitor will vary with frequency. This is clearly shown in figure in top of next column, which shows that the surface temperature of the unit rises less for a given value of ripple current at 1MHz than at 100KHz. The graph below shows a typical ESR variation with fre- quency. Typical ripple current versus temperature rise for 100KHz and 1MHz sine wave inputs. If I 2R is then plotted it can be seen that the two lines are in fact coincident, as shown in figure below. Example A Tantalum capacitor is being used in a filtering application, where it will be required to handle a 2 Amp peak-to-peak, 200KHz square wave current. A square wave is the sum of an infinite series of sine waves at all the odd harmonics of the square waves fundamental frequency. The equation which relates is: ISquare = Ipksin (2πƒ) + Ipk sin (6πƒ) + Ipk sin (10πƒ) + Ipk sin (14πƒ) +... Thus the special components are: Let us assume the capacitor is a TAJD686M006 Typical ESR measurements would yield. Thus the total power dissipation would be 0.069 Watts. From the D case results shown in figure top of previous column, it can be seen that this power would cause the capacitors surface temperature to rise by about 5°C.

The heat generated inside a tantalum capacitor in a.c. operation comes from the power dissipation due to ripple current. It is equal to I 2R, where I is the rms value of the current at a given frequency, and R is the ESR at the same frequency with an additional contribution due to the leakage current. The heat will be transferred from the outer surface by conduction. How efficiently it is transferred from this point is dependent on the thermal management of the board. The power dissipation ratings given in Section 2.1 are based on free-air calculations. These ratings can be approached if efficient heat sinking and/or forced cooling is used. In practice, in a high density assembly with no specific thermal management, the power dissipation required to give a 10°C rise above ambient may be up to a factor of 10 less. In these cases, the actual capacitor temperature should be established (either by thermocouple probe or infra-red scanner) and if it is seen to be above this limit it may be necessary to specify a lower ESR part or a higher voltage rating.

Soldering Time (secs.) Allowable range of peak temp./time combination for wave soldering Temperature (o C) The capacitors reliability will therefore be: Failure rate = F U x FT x FR x 1%/1000 hours = 0.15 x 0.1 x 1 x 1%/1000 hours = 0.015%/1000 hours If a 10 volt capacitor was used instead, the new scaling factor would be 0.006, thus the steady-state reliability would be: Failure rate = F U x FT x FR x 1%/1000 hours = 0.006 x 0.1 x 1 x 1%/1000 hours = 6 x 10 -4 %/1000 hours So there is an order improvement in the capacitors steady- state reliability. Soldering Conditions and Board Attachment. The soldering temperature and time should be the minimum for a good connection. A suitable combination for wavesoldering is 230 - 250°C for 3 - 5 seconds. For vapor phase or infra-red reflow soldering the profile below shows allowable and dangerous time/temperature combinations. The profile refers to the peak reflow tempera- ture and is designed to ensure that the temperature of the internal construction of the capacitor does not exceed 220°C. Preheat conditions vary according to the reflow system used, maximum time and temperature would be 10 minutes at 150°C. Small parametric shifts may be noted immediately after reflow, components should be allowed to stabilize at room temperature prior to electrical testing. Both TAJ and TAZ series are designed for reflow and wave soldering operations. In addition TAZ is available with gold terminations compatible with conductive epoxy or gold wire bonding for hybrid assemblies.

The capacitors can therefore be subjected to one IR reflow, one wave solder and one soldering iron cycle. If more aggressive mounting techniques are to be used please consult AVX Tantalum for guidance. SECTION 4 APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR TANTALUM CAPACITORS

The upper temperature limit (maximum capacitor surface temperature) must not be exceeded even under the most unfavorable conditions when the capacitor is installed. This must be considered particularly when it is positioned near components which radiate heat strongly (e.g. valves and power transistors). Furthermore, care must be taken, when bending the wires, that the bending forces do not strain the capacitor housing.

5.9.1 Guidelines for Surface Mount Footprints

Component footprint and reflow pad design for AVX capacitors. The component footprint is defined as the maximum board area taken up by the terminators. The footprint dimensions are given by A, B, C and D in the diagram, which corre- sponds to W, max., A max., S min. and L max. for the com- ponent. The footprint is symmetric about the center lines. The dimensions x, y and z should be kept to a minimum to reduce rotational tendencies while allowing for visual inspection of the component and its solder fillet. Dimensions PS (Pad Separation) and PW (Pad Width) are calculated using dimensions x and z. Dimension y may vary, depending on whether reflow or wave soldering is to be performed. For reflow soldering, dimensions PL (Pad Length), PW (Pad Width), and PSL (Pad Set Length) have been calculated. For wave soldering the pad width (PWw) is reduced to less than the termination width to minimize the amount of solder pick up while ensuring that a good joint can be produced. NOTE: These recommendations (also in compliance with EIA) are guidelines only. With care and control, smaller footprints may be considered for reflow soldering.

Questions & Answers Some commonly asked questions regarding Tantalum Capacitors: Question: If I use several tantalum capacitors in serial/parallel combinations, how can I ensure equal current and voltage sharing? Answer: Connecting two or more capacitors in series and parallel combinations allows almost any value and rating to be constructed for use in an application. For example, a capacitance of more than 60µF is required in a circuit for stable operation. The working voltage rail is 24 volts dc with a superimposed ripple of 1.5 volts at 120 Hz. The maximum voltage seen by the capacitor is V dc + Vac=25.5V Applying the 50% derating rule tells us that a 50V capacitor is required. Connecting two 25V rated capacitors in series will give the required capacitance voltage rating, but the effective capacitance will be halved, so for greater than 60µF, four such series combinations are required, as shown. In order to ensure reliable operation, the capacitors should be connected as shown below to allow current sharing of the ac noise and ripple signals. This prevents any one capacitor heating more than its neighbors and thus being the weak link in the chain. The two resistors are used to ensure that the leakage currents of the capacitors does not affect the circuit reliability, by ensuring that all the capacitors have half the working voltage across them. Question: What are the advantages of tantalum over other capacitor technologies? Answer: 1. Tantalum capacitors have high volumetric efficiency. 2. Electrical performance over temperature is very stable. 3. They have a wide operating temperature range -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C. 4. They have better frequency characteristics than aluminum electrolytics. 5. No wear out mechanism. Because of their construction, solid tantalum capacitors do not degrade in perfor- mance or reliability over time. Question: How does TPS differ from your standard product? Answer: TPS has been designed from the initial anode production stages for power supply applications. Special manufacturing processes provide the most robust capacitor dielectric by maximizing the volumetric efficiency of the package. After manufacturing, parts are conditioned by being subjected to elevated temperature overvoltage burn in applied for a minimum of two hours. Parts are monitored on a 100% basis for their direct current leakage performance at elevated temperatures. Parts are then subjected to a low impedance current surge. This current surge is performed on a 100% basis with each capacitor individually monitored. At this stage, the capacitor undergoes 100% test for capacitance, Dissipation Factor, leakage current, and 100 KHz ESR to TPS requirements. Question: If the part is rated as a 25 volt part and you have current surged it, why can’t I use it at 25 volts in a low impedance circuit? Answer: The high volumetric efficiency obtained using tantalum technology is accomplished by using an extremely thin film of tantalum pentoxide as the dielectric. Even an application of the relatively low voltage of 25 volts will produce a large field strength as seen by the dielectric. As a result of this, derating has a significant impact on reliability as described under the reliability section. The following example uses a 22 microfarad capacitor rated at 25 volts to illustrate the point. The equation for determining the amount of surface area for a capacitor is as follows: 33µF 25V 33µF 25V 16.5µF 50VÆ 66µF 50VÆ 33µF 25V

Questions & Answers A = 0.015 square meters (150 square centimeters) Where C = Capacitance in farads A = Dielectric (Electrode) Surface Area (m d = Dielectric thickness (Space between dielectric) (m) E = Dielectric constant (27 for tantalum) E° = Dielectric Constant relative to a vacuum (8.855 x 10 -12 Farads x m-1) To compute the field voltage potential felt by the dielectric we use the following logic. Dielectric formation potential = Formation Ratio x Working Voltage = 4 x 25 Formation Potential = 100 volts Dielectric (Ta2O5) Thickness (d) is 1.7 x 10 -9 Meters Per Volt d = 0.17 µ meters Electric Field Strength = Working Voltage / d = (25 / 0.17 µ meters) = 147 Kilovolts per millimeter = 147 Megavolts per meter No matter how pure the raw tantalum powder or the precision of processing, there will always be impurity sites in the dielectric. We attempt to stress these sites in the factory with overvoltage surges, and elevated temperature burn in so that components will fail in the factory and not in your product. Unfortunately, within this large area of tantalum pentoxide, impurity sites will exist in all capacitors. To minimize the possibility of providing enough activation energy for these impurity sites to turn from an amorphous state to a crystalline state that will conduct energy, series resistance and derating is recommended. By reducing the electric field within the anode at these sites, the tantalum capacitor has increased reliability. Tantalums differ from other electrolytics in that charge transients are carried by electronic conduction rather than absorption of ions. Question: What negative transients can Solid Tantalum Capacitors operate under? Answer: The reverse voltage ratings are designed to cover exceptional conditions of small level excursions into incorrect polarity. The values quoted are not intended to cover contin- uous reverse operation. The peak reverse voltage applied to the capacitor must not exceed: 10% of rated DC working voltage to a maximum of 1 volt at 25°C. 3% of rated DC working voltage to a maximum of 0.5 volt at 85°C. 1% of category DC working voltage to a maximum of 0.1 volt at 125°C. Question: I have read that manufacturers recommend a series resistance of 0.1 ohm per working volt. You suggest we use 1 ohm per volt in a low impedance circuit. Why? Answer: We are talking about two very different sets of circuit conditions for those recommendations. The 0.1 ohm per volt recommendation is for steady-state conditions. This level of resistance is used as a basis for the series resistance variable in a 1% / 1000 hours 60% confidence level reference. This is what steady-state life tests are based on. The 1 ohm per volt is recommended for dynamic conditions which include current in-rush applications such as inputs to power supply circuits. In many power supply topologies where the di/dt through the capacitor(s) is limited, (such as most implementations of buck (current mode), forward converter, and flyback), the requirement for series resistance is decreased. Question: How long is the shelf life for a tantalum capacitor? Answer: Solid tantalum capacitors have no limitation on shelf life. The dielectric is stable and no reformation is required. The only factors that affect future performance of the capacitors would be high humidity conditions and extreme storage temperatures. Solderability of solder coated surfaces may be affected by storage in excess of one year under temperatures greater than 40°C or humidities greater than 80% relative humidity. Terminations should be checked for solderability in the event an oxidation develops on the solder plating. Question: Do you recommend the use of tantalum capacitors on the input side of DC-DC converters? Answer: No. Typically the input side of a converter is fed from the voltage sources which are not regulated and are of nominally low impedance. Examples would be Nickel-Metal- Hydride batteries, Nickel-Cadmium batteries, etc., whose internal resistance is typically in the low milliohm range.
