Overview

The KEMET Aluminum Organic Capacitor (AO-CAP)

is a solid state aluminum capacitor. The cathode is a

conductive organic polymer, which results in very low ESR

and improved capacitance retention at a high frequency.

AO-CAPs may be operated at steady state voltages up

to100% of rated voltage without the need to de-rate.

Since there is no liquid electrolyte, the A720 offers long

operational lifetimes, low ESR and high operational

temperatures. The inherent low ESR renders the A720

suitable for high ripple current handling. The small

package size, high ripple current capability, high operating

temperature, low parasistics, and high capacitance make the

A720 ideal for high performance microprocessor, FPGA, and

ASIC decoupling designs.
