Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC3128, a high efficiency, input current-limited buck-boost supercapacitor charger with active charge balancing for 1 or 2 series supercapacitors. The ...

Supercapacitors (SCs) generally operate at low voltages of about 2.7 V. To achieve higher operating voltages, it is necessary to build up a cascade of SC cells connected in series. Due to variations ...

Kemet has introduced a supercapacitor balancing development kit for its S301 family of 60mm diameter capacitors. Used in series, supercapacitors need electronics to ensure no capacitor goes over the ...

Rohm has introduced a supercapacitor balancing IC for automotive start-stop systems that can handle four to six capacitors. Called BD14000EFV-C, it can be set to handle cells from 2.4 to 3.1V (in ...
