Electronics

Audio applications make specific demands on the capacitors selected for use. THD must be kept low to ensure noiseless filtering performance and high fidelity in the passing of audio signals. The stability of electrical parameters over temperature and especially over time is required to assure an overall sound quality for a long lifetime. In many cases, portable audio devices demand miniature devices and often designers are constrained to choose smaller and lower profile capacitors.

AVX Corp offers various different tantalum capacitor series for many different applications, but the company’s standard and low profile TAJ and low ESR TPS series are especially suitable for audio designs. Standard TAJ devices are available in capacitances from 0.1 to 2200 F and in voltages from 2.5 to 50V. Low profile versions are offered in heights down to 0.9mm. Low ESR TPS devices have similar voltage ranges, but are limited to a maximum capacitance of 1500 F.
