Recent Advances in the Solid-State Electrolytic Capacitor

The tremendous interest in the solid-state capacitor is due to the cornbination of superior technical characteristics with very small size and large "bulk" capacity. Present literature shows 35 vdc and 85°C voltage and temperature limitations. Through the analysis of units made to operate at the extended limits of 100 vdc and 150&degC, a model has been proposed which serves to explain four sets of anomalous and apparently unrelated electrical characteristics found in this type of unit.
