TPSD336M020R0200 application field and working principle

The TPSD336M020R0200 is a tantalum capacitor produced by TDK. It is designed to provide low ESR and high ripple current. It features a 20mΩ ESR and 200mA ripple current, with a capacitance of 330 μF.

The TPSD336M020R0200 capacitor is most used in power supplies and general purpose EMI filtering circuits. It is also suitable for switching power supply output filtering, DC-DC converter input or output filtering, or decoupling of industrial computers. It is also used to bridge configured linear voltage regulators for dynamic load applications.

As with all capacitors, the TPSD336M020R0200 functions by storing and releasing electrical energy, allowing it to filter and smooth out electrical signals. It works based on an electrostatic principle, with an electrical field created between two electrodes. One electrode is positively charged, acting as an anode, and the other is negatively charged, acting as a cathode. A dielectric material is placed between the two electrodes to create a barrier, and when voltage is applied, a charge is stored in the capacitor.

Tantalum capacitors like the TPSD336M020R0200 are especially durable and reliable, due to their construction and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance). This is achieved by using tantalum as the dielectric material, as it is highly stable, and a solid manganese dioxide electrolyte. The combination of these materials allows for a more highly efficient capacitance. In addition, the solid construction of the TPSD336M020R0200 ensures higher vibration and shock resistance, allowing for a more reliable long-term performance.

The TPSD336M020R0200 from TDK is an excellent choice for many power-related applications due to its low ESR and high ripple current. Its low ESR allows it to filter out more power-related noise, while its high ripple current ensures that it can handle larger peak currents than other capacitors. Its combination of reliability, resistance to vibration and shock, and versatility make it a great choice for many applications.
