Design teams are now eyeing supercapacitors for a range of new products in energy harvesting, office automation, backup systems, and more. These supercapacitor cells provide efficient storage that can quickly discharge energy on demand. To ensure peak performance and a long product life cycle, the supercapacitor’s voltage must be balanced. If an imbalance occurs due to leakage current differences between the cells, an energy drain could be triggered, causing the supercapacitor cells to fail prematurely.

Derating and Category Concepts for Capacitors

  • Posted by Tomáš Zedníček
  • On January 14, 2020

Recommendation for voltage derating means that the actual capacitor shall be used in the application at a lower voltage than the rated voltage. Derating is expressed usually by percentage of rated voltage that shall be subtracted. For example, 20% derating means that the capacitor shall be used at 80% of rated voltage at the specific applications (10V capacitor to be used on 8V maximum).
