Advanced Linear Devices Inc. announced its six-channel supercapacitor automatic balancing (SAB) PCB. The SABMB6 can balance any size of supercapacitor with zero added power dissipation. Each PCB can balance up to six supercapacitors stacked in a series, ranging in size from six to hundreds of supercapacitors with capacities from 0.1 to 3,000 Farads in voltages of […]
PCBs automatically balance two-cell supercap low-voltage systems
Two-Channel printed circuit boards provide production-ready automatic balancing for two-cell supercapacitor low-voltage systems. The SABMB2 offers over-voltage protection and ultra-low power usage for supercapacitors required in industrial controls, remote monitoring, and battery backup applications. Developed by Advanced Linear Devices Inc., the PCB balances leakage current, manages over-voltage and dissipates zero power. Each SABMB2 balances two […]
MOSFET PCBs balance high-voltage supercapacitors via low-power leakage-current regulation
High-voltage supercapacitor balancing printed circuit boards are designed to automatically control leakage current and enhance reliability for applications used in data center, industrial automation, public utility, and transportation systems. ALD SABMB810028 boards built with ALD810028SCLI SAB (supercapacitor auto-balancing) MOSFETs provide balancing for 2.8-V, 3.0-V and 3.3-V supercapacitors arranged in a series stack by equalizing the […]
The fundamentals of supercapacitor balancing
The low voltage available from a single supercapacitor forces most applications to use several supercaps in series. Here are the tricks involved in stringing these components together. Robert Chao | Advanced Linear Devices Inc. The average supercapacitor has a maximum charging voltage of between 2.5 and 2.7 V. For many applications a voltage this low […]
