MURATA launches miniaturised DMT series supercapacitor targeting SSDs, smart meters and communications
CAP-XX's licensee for small form supercapacitor devices, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Murata), this week announced the launch of its DMT series, one of the most reliable electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLC) available on the market today. The device offers superior long-term performance in a compact14 x 21mm design that enables high voltage handling of (4.2V) . The DMT series is ideally suited for applications in solid state drive (SSD) and communication system backup, power assistance for smart meters, and energy storage for energy-harvesting devices. Murata identifies the expansion of these markets as driving the demand for smaller, thinner, and low-resistance capacitors.
The full Murata release, together with the technical performance specification for the DMT can be seen at: http://www.murataamericas.com/edlc
Target customer applications for the DMT Series devices are:
• Power assistance for smart meters
• Backup power supply for communication systems
• Backup power supply for other systems
• Energy storage device for energy-harvesting systems
Murata stated that the basis behind this technology is the result of its collaboration with CAP-XX, adding that in order to meet demand for devices with greater efficiency and functionality, Murata strategically licensed supercapacitor technology from CAP-XX in 2008. Murata's focus on EDLC research and development, coupled with CAP-XX's market expertise, drives the advancement of enhanced EDLC design.
CAP-XX receives royalty income on volume of devices sold under its licence agreement with Murata.
