Panasonic Industry Commercializes Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) with The Industry's Lowest Profile*1 to Support High-Output Power Delivery Required for USB Type-C Connections
  Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd., a Panasonic Group company, announced  that it will begin commercial production of its two models of Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP), 50TQT33M and 63TQT22M. These capacitors are incorporated into power circuits used for information and communication equipment, including laptops and tablets. They offer an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance in a body with the industry’s lowest profile of 3 mm, supporting high-output power delivery through USB Type-C connectors. Mass production for these models is planned to start in December 2025.  These capacitors are ideal for voltage stabilization and noise reduction in power supplies compliant with USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)[1] 3.1. While previous USB-C connectors supplied up to 100 W (20 V/5 A), USB-PD 3.1 expands this to 240 W (48 V/5 A). This enables widespread use of USB-C connectors for high-speed data transfer and rapid charging, and is expected to further expand applications to larger equipment requiring high power output, such as displays.  On the other hand, information and communication equipment such as laptops are increasingly required to be thinner and more compact. Capacitors therefore must combine an ultra-high withstand voltage, high capacitance, and a low profile in order to fit into limited space. Panasonic Industry began mass production of Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) in 1997 and, as an industry leader, has continuously delivered first-of-their-kind products. Leveraging proprietary powder molding technology and film formation technologies, the company has newly developed two models that achieve both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance in a package with the industry's lowest profile of 3 mm.  Through these unique device technologies, Panasonic Industry will continue to contribute to enhancing the functionality of electronic equipment, including laptops, while also reducing the environmental impact through smaller, lighter devices and lower material usage.  Key features:  1. Achieves both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance*2 to support high-output USB Type-C power delivery, in a 3 mm profile—the lowest in the industry*1—enabled by proprietary powder molding and film formation technologies  2.

Achieves both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance to support high-output USB Type-C power delivery, in a 3 mm profile—the lowest in the industry—enabled by proprietary powder molding and film formation technologies  To achieve capacitor performance required for USB-PD 3.1 power supplies in a low-profile body, both high capacitance and a high withstand voltage must be ensured, despite their trade-off relationship. High-capacitance tantalum powder is necessary for electrode materials, but its fine particle size makes molding difficult, creating challenges for stable production. Forming a uniform dielectric film on the surface of the electrodes is important for enhancing the withstand voltage. However, since electrodes made with high-capacitance tantalum powder contain extremely small internal pores, dielectric oxide films tend to develop imperfections.  Panasonic Industry overcame these challenges by establishing proprietary technology to mold high-capacitance tantalum powder with uniform density, and by optimizing the film deposition process to create flawless dielectric films. This enabled the development of two new models that combine an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance, meeting the USB-C high-output power delivery requirements in a 3 mm low-profile package.Cross-sectional view of POSCAP and enlarged view of the inside of the electrode body  2. Lineup of USB-PD 3.1-compliant models rated at 50 V and 63 V  Until now, Panasonic Industry’s POSCAP lineup extended only up to 35 V, with no models compatible with USB-PD 3.1, which extends the rated voltage specification to 36 V (180 W) and 48 V (240 W). The two new models, rated at 50 V and 63 V, each achieve a high capacitance of 22 μF or higher in a package with the industry's lowest profile of 3 mm. The full lineup provides flexibility to meet diverse applications and equipment specifications.  3. Contributes to reduced material usage lower environmental impact through low-profile design  Compared to the industry standard size*3, the new models reduce volume by 25%, contributing to a lower environmental impact through reduced material usage.  *3 Comparison with the industry standard size (7.3 mm × 4.3 mm × 4 mm) of conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors used in USB-PD 3.1 compliant power suppliesApplications:  Voltage stabilization and noise reduction of USB-PD 3.1-compliant power supplies for laptops, displays, and peripheral equipment  Arc discharge[2] countermeasures for USB-PD 3.1-compliant connectors  Specifications:  Life: 2,000 hours at 105°C; guaranteed operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C  Ripple current[3]: 100 kHz, 105°C  ESR[4]: 100 kHz, 20°C  *4 Product dimensional tolerance:  Length (L): ±0.3 mm; Width (W): ±0.2 mm; Height (H): ±0.2 mmTerm descriptions:  [1] USB-PD  The power delivery standards established by the standard-setting organization USB Implementers Forum, Inc.

ROHM Develops Breakthrough Schottky Barrier Diode Combining Low VF and IR for Advanced Image Sensor Protection
  ROHM has developed an innovative Schottky barrier diode that overcomes the traditional VF / IR trade-off. This way, it delivers high reliability protection for a wide range of high-resolution image sensor applications, including ADAS cameras.  Modern ADAS cameras and similar systems require higher pixel counts to meet the demand for greater precision. This has created a growing concern – the risk of damage caused by photovoltaic voltage generated under light exposure during power OFF. While low-VF SBDs are effective countermeasures, low IR is also essential during operation to prevent thermal runaway. However, simultaneously achieving both low VF and IR has been a longstanding technical challenge. ROHM has overcome this hurdle by fundamentally redesigning the device structure – successfully developing an SBD that combines low VF with low IR which is ideal for protection applications.  The RBE01VYM6AFH represents a novel concept: leveraging the low-VF characteristics of rectification SBDs for protection purposes. By adopting a proprietary architecture, ROHM has achieved low IR that is typically difficult to realize with low VF designs. As a result, even under harsh environmental conditions, the device meets market requirements by delivering VF of less than 300mV (at IF=7.5mA even at Ta=-40°C), and an IR of less than 20mA (at VR=3V even at Ta=125°C.) These exceptional characteristics not only prevent circuit damage caused by high photovoltaic voltage generated when powered OFF, but also significantly reduce the risk of thermal runaway and malfunction during operation.  The diode is housed in a compact flat-lead SOD-323HE package (2.5mm × 1.4mm / 0.098inch × 0.055inch) that offers both space efficiency and excellent mountability. This enables support for space-constrained applications such as automotive cameras, industrial equipment, and security systems. The RBE01VYM6AFH is also AEC-Q101 qualified, ensuring suitability as a protection device for next-generation automotive electronics requiring high reliability and long-term stability.  Going forward, ROHM will focus on expanding its lineup with even smaller packages to address continuing miniaturization demands.  Key Specifications  Application Examples  Image sensor-equipped sets such as ADAS cameras, smart intercoms, security cameras, and home IoT devices.  Terminology  Photovoltaic Voltage  A term commonly used with optical sensors, referring to the voltage produced when exposed to light. In general, the stronger the light intensity or higher the pixel count the greater voltage generated.

TAIYO YUDEN Commercializes 1005M-Size Embeddable Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor with 22-μF Capacitance for AI Servers
  TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commercialized and begun mass production of embeddable multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that achieves a capacitance of 22-μF in a 1005M size (1.0 x 0.5 mm).  This ceramic capacitor is an MLCC designed for decoupling applications on IC power lines used in AI servers and other types of information devices.  Components embedded in a board require high precision in terms of flatness of the external electrodes for connection to the circuit. With respect to this requirement, TAIYO YUDEN has commercialized an embeddable MLCC that achieves a 22-μF capacitance in a 1005M size by enhancing external electrode formation technology and other elemental technologies.  Mass production of the capacitor began at our Tamamura Plant (Sawa District, Gunma Prefecture) in August 2025. Samples are available for 20 yen per unit.  Technology Background  AI servers and other types of devices with advanced information processing capabilities are equipped with ICs that consume extremely large amounts of power. For decoupling purposes in such power supply circuits, small, high-capacity MLCCs are required to handle large currents.  Additionally, to minimize circuit loss and noise, it is important to route the power supply circuit close to the ICs. Traditional power supply circuits are routed around ICs. But, technological developments are progressing, allowing them to be placed closer, such as on the back of the board or directly under the ICs. Thus, embeddable MLCCs need to be equipped with high-precision external electrodes to connect to the lines.  To satisfy this need, TAIYO YUDEN has improved its external electrode formation technology and commercialized 1005M-size embeddable MLCC with a capacitance of 22 μF.  TAIYO YUDEN is continuing to develop new MLCCs with higher capacitance and other distinguishing features.  ■ Application  Decoupling applications on IC power lines used in AI servers and other types of information devices
