TPS Series III
New Generation Low ESR
Current application trends in circuit designs for switch-mode power supplies, micro-processors, and
digital circuits call for higher operating frequencies and smoother filtering. In order to function properly,
components with low ESR, high capacitance and high reliability are required. The New Third
generation TPS Low ESR series is based on the traditional MnO
2
process that offers very low ESR
levels previously only seen by other technologies. Further, continuous improvements in MnO
2
technology has allowed reductions in the resistance of the capacitor electrodes in order to further reduce
ESR levels. Traditional MnO
2
technology guarantees excellent line and field performance, humidity
stability and high electrical and thermal stress resistance.

For TPS series and the case sizes C, D and E the ESR limits are printed on capacitor side in the following format:
T x x x -where x x x is ESR limit in milliohms i.e. T100 represents max. ESR of 100 milliohms.
NOTE: The EIA & CECC standards for low ESR Solid Tantalum Capacitors allow an ESR movement to 1.25 times catalog limit post mounting.
