The TPS series of low ESR SMD capacitors from AVX are designed for use mainly in power supply applications. The TPS series of capacitor is available with 14 different case size options.

Low ESR (equivalent series resistance)
High ripple current capability
Low power and heat dissipation

AVX is the number one tantalum capacitor supplier with four manufacturing plants worldwide, which provides flexibility and capacity for the demanding electronic industry. AVX is the global leader in MnO2 solid tantalum technologies such as smallest case size MnO2, highest temperature capabilities up to 230°C and lowest DCL product offering. AVX has the industry leading position in high reliability tantalum capacitors and is the largest supplier of high reliability solid tantalum capacitors for medical and military/aerospace applications with the industry’s widest range of medical, COTS-Plus, MIL spec and space level products.AVX Conformal technology offers leading edge solutions for audio and infrastructure applications.AVX has an open and progressive policy on ethical supply and is first to be in compliance with OECD guidelines and legislation on conflict materials.

With an ESR as low as 80mΩ, TPS capacitors are suitable for smoothing and filtering on 3.3V power rails, which is a favorite output voltage of DC/DC converters. Devices with high capacitance can also be used as battery support in handheld devices where small size is one of the key design requirements.TPS tantalum capacitors have a maximum direct leakage current of 19.8μA and a maximum dissipation factor at 120Hz of 12%. Importantly, these devices meet the requirements of AEC-Q200 for the automotive industry.
