Super capacitor is expected to accelerate to replace the traditional battery backup power. Super capacitor with rapid charge and discharge , high temperature and long life advantages, gradually carved up in the solid-state drive (SSD), servers, industrial and medical device market share of battery backup power applications ; recently released a more integrated chip suppliers liters super capacitor power control chip / buck circuit , analog to digital converter (ADC) and charge-discharge path management (Power Path) IC and helps reduce system complexity and cost , will stimulate the standby power conversion trendy warming. Zhang zhengyuan, Linear Technology's Application Engineering Manager mentioned Compared to provide electricity throughout the room large uninterruptible power systems , super capacitors required to quickly back up data only locked industrial or medical equipment, in short supply during a power outage .Linear Technology (Linear Technology) Taiwan general manager Jane Bowen said , targeting industrial, medical and data storage devices increasing demand for reliable backup power , power chip providers and system operators are stepping up research and development of a new generation of super capacitor solutions to replace traditional battery backup power patterns to achieve short-term rapid charge and discharge , wide temperature range, and up to two million times the life of the related equipment at the main power supply failure or unstable situation , for the time critical data backup. Zhang said, super capacitor is fully charged and the power supply quickly , even with continuous power situations , but also the sustainable provision of equipment about 25 watts (W), 15 seconds or so of standby power for data backup the time required for the purposes of more than enough ; contrast , conventional battery power from the first program to the second time can be powered from a few hundreds to several tens of minutes at a high temperature operating environment , and easily damaged , and even explosion, on average only can support thousands of charge-discharge life , will increase industrial, medical and storage equipment and risk losing data security issues raised .However , Zhang does not deny the original , super capacitor backup power stage high cost , it is the biggest obstacle to delay the rapid rise in its market penetration . As the super fast charging capacitor emphasize quick release characteristics, shall be the number of pieces of separate power and data conversion chip , can readily detect the status of the power supply to control the standby power up / down and manage the charge / discharge mode , which boosted overall system design costs , the impact of large-scale conversion vendor wishes .In view of this , namely Linear Technology recently published a highly integrated super capacitor standby power control chip , including built- up / step-down circuit , 14 yuan ADC, AC -DC (AC-DC) Charge Management IC and discharge path Management IC, the system will significantly reduce the bill of materials (BOM) cost and design complexity. Zhang original stressed that the company 's long-standing use of buck circuit design knowledge , and patent power path management technology, pioneered the development of highly integrated super capacitor standby power control chip , the system is expected to gradually reverse its high price dilemma, accelerate development of super capacitor to replace the battery backup power .Zhang believes the original battery accompanied by changes in temperature and time , in addition to capacity will be significantly diminished , the supply voltage / current will gradually inaccurate , difficult to provide equipment stable and reliable backup power ; And it has a certain footprint , but will not conducive to industrial and medical electronics design trend towards portable , so the industry super capacitor backup power steering will become the trend is expected to set off a new wave of power management chip business.
