IPDiA broadens its silicon capacitor portfolio with the introduction of a 10 µF capacitor built with its patented 3D Silicon technology, with leakage current down to 12nA to fill the needs for lower leakage current in battery-operated products. For example in defibrillator applications, such a leakage current is equivalent to a hundred days increase in lifetime, compared with what can be obtained with Tantalum devices.

With its stability in terms of voltage of <0.1%/V this capacitor exceeds the needs of the medical, aerospace, automotive, industrial markets, etc. The device offers an operating temperature range from -55°C to +100°C with capacitance shift limited to +/-1%.Thanks to its ESR and ESL, this capacitor is efficient on output DC filtering. IPDiA’s technology provides Failure In Time (FIT) ten times better than standard SMD at 37°C and 10 000 times better at 85°C.
