Application analysis of solid-liquid mixed electrolytic capacitors
Date:2025-03-20 | Popular:13
Hybrid E-Cap combines the high-capacity advantages of traditional liquid electrolytic capacitors with
the stability of solid-state capacitors. Through the mixed electrolyte technology of conductive polymers
and electrolytes, it achieves low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high ripple current carrying capacity,
and long lifespan. The following analysis will focus on technological advantages, typical application areas,
and future development directions:
1、 Core performance advantages
Low ESR and High Frequency Characteristics
The ESR value of solid-liquid hybrid capacitors is significantly lower than that of traditional liquid electrolytic
capacitors (for example, the ESR of a 47 μ F hybrid capacitor can be lower than that of a 330 μ F liquid capacitor),
which enables it to effectively reduce energy loss and temperature rise in high-frequency circuits, while improving
filtering efficiency. For example, in switch mode power supplies, hybrid capacitors can reduce the output ripple
voltage to below 30% of traditional solutions.
High reliability and lifespan
After adopting solid-liquid mixing technology, the failure mode of capacitors is mainly open circuit, avoiding
the short circuit risk of liquid capacitors. Its high temperature stability is excellent, with a working temperature
range of -55 ℃ to 150 ℃, and a lifespan of over 4000 hours in an environment of 125 ℃ (3-6 times that of liquid
capacitors).
Miniaturization and high capacity density
Hybrid capacitors achieve equivalent or higher performance in smaller volumes by optimizing electrolyte materials
and structural design. For example, the size of a 47 μ F hybrid capacitor (6.3 × 5.8 mm) is only one-third of
that of a traditional liquid capacitor (10 × 10.2 mm), while maintaining high ripple current capability (200 mA/μ F,
liquid capacitor only 20 mA/μ F).
2、 Typical application scenarios
New energy vehicle power system
DC support capacitor: In motor inverters and battery management systems, hybrid capacitors replace liquid electrolytic
capacitors as DC support capacitors, which can withstand high switching frequencies (about 10 kHz) and high
voltage fluctuations (1.5 times the rated voltage). For example, after adopting this technology, the system
volume of Toyota Prius and BYD models has been reduced by 50%, and the anti surge voltage capability has
been increased by 1.5 times.
Battery management: Reduce energy loss through low ESR characteristics, ensure battery charging and discharging
efficiency, while maintaining stability at extreme temperatures.
5G Communication and Industrial Power Supply
Base station power filtering: In the power amplifier and signal processing unit of 5G base stations, hybrid capacitors
(such as the Yongming VHT series) provide ultra-low ESR (<6 m Ω) and instantaneous current support of 20A
or more, ensuring the stability of high-frequency signals.
Industrial frequency converter: used in motor drive circuits to reduce temperature rise and extend equipment
life through high allowable ripple current.
Enterprise level storage devices
Solid state drive (SSD) power management: Hybrid capacitors are used in the power filtering and energy storage
stages of SSDs to protect data cache through fast charging and discharging characteristics, avoiding data
loss caused by power interruption. For example, the Yongming solution can reduce the number of components
by 50% and compress the PCB area by 40%.
Consumer electronics and high-end motherboards
High frequency power module: In laptop and server motherboards, hybrid capacitors are used for DC-DC converters
to reduce high-frequency noise and improve energy efficiency.
Overclocking application: Supports instantaneous high current demand during CPU overclocking, ensuring
voltage stability and low heating.
3、 Future technological trends
Material upgrade
By using polymer solid electrolytes such as polypyrrole, the high temperature resistance (target 175 ℃)
and capacity density are further improved, while reducing the risk of leakage current.
Intelligent integration
Develop a "capacitor+sensor" module to monitor the health status of capacitors in real time (such as ESR
change rate), and link it with the system controller to achieve fault warning.
Environmental Protection and Cost Optimization
Reduce manufacturing costs and expand its applications in smart homes, medical devices, and other fields
through lead-free processes and large-scale production.
summarize
Solid liquid hybrid electrolytic capacitors, with their performance advantages, are gradually replacing traditional
liquid capacitors and becoming the preferred choice for high reliability and high-frequency application scenarios.
The expansion of application scenarios from new energy vehicles to 5G base stations is closely related to the
iteration of materials and processes. In the future, with the breakthrough of conductive polymer technology,
hybrid capacitors are expected to achieve the power management goals of "small volume, long life, and high
stability" in a wider range of fields.
