BestCap® Ultra-low ESR High Power Pulse Supercapacitors INTRODUCING BESTCAP®: A NEW GENERATION OF PULSE SUPERCAPACITORS Supercapacitors (also referred to as Electrochemical There are, however, two limitations associated with Capacitors or Double Layer Capacitors) have rapidly become conventional supercapacitors, namely: high ESR in the tens recognized, not only as an excellent compromise between of Ohms range, and high capacitance loss when required to “electronic” or “dielectric” capacitors such as ceramic, supply very short duration current pulses. BestCap® tantalum, film and aluminum electrolytic, and batteries (Figure successfully addresses both of these limitations. 1), but also as a valuable technology for providing a unique The capacitance loss in the millisecond region is caused by combination of characteristics, particularly very high energy, the charge transfer (i.e. establishment of capacitance) being power and capacitance densities. carried out primarily by relatively slow moving ions in double layer capacitors.

BestCap® Ultra-low ESR High Power Pulse Supercapacitors SECTION 4: APPLICATION NOTES 4.1: ELECTROCHEMICAL EDLC VS. 4.2: VOLTAGE DROP ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY - Two factors are critical in determining the voltage drop when BESTCAP® CONSTRUCTION a capacitor delivers a short current pulse; these are ESR and “available” capacitance as shown in Figure 4. To understand the benefits offered by the BestCap®, it is necessary to examine how an electrochemical capacitor works. The most significant difference between an electron- Vo ic capacitor and an electrochemical capacitor is that the ▲V(IR) charge transfer is carried out by the electrons in the former ▲total=I*R + I*▲t/C(▲t) and by electrons and ions in the latter. The anions and ▲V(Q)=I* ▲t/C(▲t) cations involved in double layer supercapacitors are con- Vt tained in the electrolyte which may be liquid (normally an aqueous or organic solution) or solid. The solid electrolyte is almost universally a conductive polymer. ▲t Figure 4. Voltage-time relation of capacitor unit Cell Case (Anode) The instant voltage drop ΔV is caused by and is directly ESR Insulation Material proportional to the capacitor’s ESR. The continuing voltage drop with time ΔV , is a function of the available charge, i.e. Electrode (Cathode) C capacitance. From Figures 3 and 4 it is apparent that, for Current Collector very short current pulses, e.g. in the millisecond region, the combination of voltage drops in a conventional supercapaci- Carbon tor caused by a) the high ESR and b) the lack of available Separator capacitance causes a total voltage drop, unacceptable for Carbon most applications. Now compare the BestCap®performance Current Collector under such pulse conditions. The ultra-low ESR (in milliOhms) minimizes the instantaneous voltage drop, while Cell Case (Anode) the very high retained capacitance drastically reduces the severity of the charge related drop. This is explained further Electrons are relatively fast moving and therefore transfer in a later section. 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 EFFICIENCY/TALKTIME BENEFITS OF BESTCAP® device. This nominal capacitance is normally measured at Since BestCap®, when used in parallel with a battery, pro- 1 second. vides a current pulse with a substantially higher voltage than The differences between EDLC (Electrochemical Double that available just from the battery as shown in Figure 5, the Layer Capacitors) and electronic capacitors are summarized efficiency of the RF power amplifier is improved. in the table below: 4 5 (cid:129) (Ae leccatproacdietosr), bsaespicaaralltye dco bnys ias tlsa yoefr towf od iceolencdtruicc tmivea tpelraiatel.s e (Volts) 33..68 34 mps) (cid:129) pThapeseer, adliuemlecinturicm moxaitdeeri,a elst cm.ay be ceramic, plastic film, Battery Voltag 33..42 21 Current (A (cid:129) EDLCs do not use a discrete dielectric interphase separating the electrodes. 3 0 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 (cid:129) EDLCs utilize the charge separation, which is formed Time (µSeconds) across the electrode – electrolyte interface.

GSM Pulse IONIC species on the ELECTROLYTE side and Additionally, the higher-than battery voltage supplied by the ELECTRONIC species on the ELECTRODE side. BestCap® keeps the voltage pulse above the “cut off volt- age” 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). 19

BestCap® Ultra-low ESR High Power Pulse Supercapacitors PULSE CAPACITOR APPLICATIONS Cutoff Voltage Limits 4 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 3.5 first ΔV is because of the equivalent series resistance Volts) (ESR) aEnSdR the second, called the capacitive drop, is ΔVC. ge ( 3 From Ohm’s law, olta Cutoff Voltage % Increase voltage = current x resistance or V = IR V 3.4 Volts 28% Let us say that the instantaneous starting voltage is Vo, or 2.5 3.5 Volts 73% voltage for the circuit from where the voltage drops. If the 3.6 Volts 300% capacitor has an ESR of 100 milliOhms and the current is 1 amp, 2 0 100 200 300 400 ΔV = 1 amp x (0.100) ohms = 0.1 volts or 100 milli-volts. ESR Time (Minutes) On demand, during the discharge mode, the voltage V = Vo Battery with Pulse Capacitor Battery Alone - ΔV = (Vo - 0.1) volts ESR GSM Pulse @ 2 Amps The second voltage drop is because of the capacitance. Figure 6a. Li-ION Battery at +25°C This is shown in the equation as a linear function because of simplicity. Simply put, LI-ION Battery Q (charge) = C (capacitance) x V (voltage) 4 The derivative, dQ/dt = I (current, in amps) = C x dV/dt Hence, ΔV (dV, the voltage drop because of capacitance) = C 3.5 I x dt/C. This formula states that the larger the capacitance s) olt value the lower the voltage drop. Compared to a Ta capacitor, ge (V 3 this ΔVC is reduced by a factor of about 10 to 100. So, a BestCap® has an advantage where higher capacitance is olt Cutoff Voltage % Increase V needed. If the current pulse itself is 1 amp, the current pulse 3.4 Volts 28% 2.5 3.5 Volts 100% width is 1 second and the capacitance is 10 millifarads, the 3.6 Volts 300% ΔVC = 1A x 1Sec/0.01F, or a 100 volts; such an application is out of the range of BestCap®.

This shows the advantage of the Battery with Pulse Capacitor Battery Alone large capacitance and hence the term “pulse” capacitor. GSM Pulse @ 2 Amps 0°C The specific power – specific energy graphs are used in the Figure 6b. Li-ION Battery at +0°C 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. 20

BestCap® Ultra-low ESR High Power Pulse Supercapacitors 4.3 ENHANCING THE POWER BestCap®Supercapacitor benefits to the designer are: CAPABILITY OF PRIMARY BATTERIES (cid:129) Substantially lower voltage drop for pulse durations of up to 100msec. When electronic equipment is powered by a primary (non (cid:129) Substantially lower voltage drop at cold temperatures rechargeable) battery, one of the limitations is the power (–20°C). capability of the battery. (cid:129) Discharge current limited only by the ESR of the capacitor In order to increase the available current from the battery while maintaining a constant voltage drop across the battery The following analysis compares a primary battery connect- terminals, the designer must connect additional cells in ed in parallel to a Lithium Tionil Chloride, to the same parallel, leading to increased size and cost of both the primary battery connected to a BestCap® Supercapacitor. battery and the finished product. Various current pulses (amplitude and duration) are applied in each case. When high power is only required for short periods, more sophisticated approaches can be considered. The tradition- al approach involves using a high power rechargeable BestCap® 5.5V 100mF battery, charged by a low power primary cell.

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. 22
