Simuleringssoftware til superkondensatorer
KYOCERA AVX præsenterer ny version af firmaets SpiCAT online simulerings-software, der er dedikeret til superkondensatorer (in english).
KYOCERA AVX has released a new version of its SpiCAT online simulation software dedicated to supercapacitors. SpiCAT online simulation software makes it easy for engineers to identify the unique characteristics of a wide variety of KYOCERA AVX components, including multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), polymer, tantalum, and niobium capacitors, multilayer varistors (MLVs), negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistors, and - now - supercapacitors.
Supercapacitors are electrochemical double layer capacitors that strike a beneficial balance between the capabilities of electronic or dielectric capacitors (such as ceramic, tantalum, film, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors) and batteries - namely excellent pulse power handling characteristics resulting from the combination of very high capacitance and very low ESR.
These unique large-energy-storage devices can be used by themselves or in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries to extend back-up time, lengthen battery life, and provide instantaneous power pulses in power backup, hold-up, energy harvesting, peak power assist, pulse power, and battery applications in the industrial, energy, telecommunications, automotive, transportation, and medical industries.
The new SpiCAT SpiSCAP online simulation software for KYOCERA AVX supercapacitors makes it easy for engineers to evaluate and select SCC and SCM Series supercapacitors optimized for their applications’ discharge requirements. Based on criteria including:
- Initial and end-of-life capacitance values, the latter of which is defined as exhibiting 70% of rated capacitance and 200% ESR
- Initial and final voltage
- Constant current, constant power, or constant resistance modes
- Power (W)
- Duration time
Users can identify recommended supercapacitor solutions ranging from single cells and modules to series and parallel combinations of parts and enjoy one-click access to detailed information about the proposed solutions, including physical and electrical characteristics, input values, part number explanations, and even interactive voltage and current vs. time graphs.
