T95R227M016LZAS Working Principle
The working principle of the T95R227M016LZAS is relatively simple, as it is a conventional capacitor that follows the principles of electrostatics. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes of the T95R227M016LZAS, an electric field is created which causes the electrons to be stored on the electrodes. The amount of charge that can be stored is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor, the charge stored is proportional to the applied voltage. When the voltage applied across the capacitor is removed, the electrons are unable to maintain the electric field and the capacitor is said to be discharged.
The T95R227M016LZAS also features a high temperature stability when compared to other tantalum capacitors. Its operating temperature is -55 ~ 125 degree Celsius (-67~257 degree Fahrenheit) and its maximum temperature coefficient is 5 %/C (2.8 %/F).
Conclusion
The T95R227M016LZAS is an excellent choice for applications requiring capacitance in a small size form factor. The capacitor has a wide application range and is especially useful in high frequency, high temperature, and high power drive circuits. The capacitor is also temperature stable and the maximum temperature coefficient is 5 %/C, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
