Apple's A16 processor is the first chip with a 4nm process, but MediaTek's Dimensity 9200 uses TSMC's more advanced second-generation 4nm process. Therefore, MediaTek can be said to be the first to adopt the world's most advanced 4nm chip manufacturer. It is also the strongest technology in the mobile phone chip industry.

According to the data released by MediaTek, benefiting from the excellence of the second-generation 4nm process, the performance of the Dimensity 9200 chip has increased by 12%, and the power consumption has dropped by 25%. The first place in the industry highlights the technical advantages of the Dimensity 9200 chip.

The suitable operating conditions of tantalum capacitors are -55-+125 degrees, and the rated voltage can be applied within 85 degrees for testing. It is said that such conditions have shown that the temperature characteristics of tantalum capacitors are very good, but one thing is often overlooked, that is, under this condition, the test is carried out with a protective resistance of 1000 ohms. At the moment when the product is energized, the voltage and current in the circuit have very small surge changes, and the excessive instantaneous current is suppressed by the series resistance. Therefore, the change has an impact on the tantalum capacitor.

In actual use, tantalum capacitors are often used in power circuits without any resistance protection for filtering or charging and discharging. If such circuits use an external power supply, at the moment of switching, the circuit will generate a very high voltage. Surge voltage and current changes, therefore, when used in such circuits, tantalum capacitors will be subjected to voltage and large current surges exceeding the rated value at the moment of switching and breakdown. Therefore, tantalum capacitors used in such circuits , After a lot of experiments, it has been proved that if you want to ensure its sufficient reliability, it must be greatly derated to ensure that the sum of the surge voltage and reverse voltage instantly applied to the product cannot exceed the rated value. Tantalum capacitors in impedance circuits are therefore required to be derated to 1/3 of the rated value to ensure reliability.

Such requirements have brought a lot of inconvenience to actual users; on the one hand, many users do not know such harsh conditions of use of tantalum capacitors in such circuits, so the use voltage is too high, which often causes breakdown, and on the other hand, On the one hand, users cannot achieve chip products with higher withstand voltage capabilities under the condition that the volume and capacitance are strictly limited.

The reason for such harsh conditions in the specific use of tantalum capacitors is actually a dangerous failure mode of tantalum capacitors; when the leakage current of tantalum capacitors is too large, the withstand voltage of the product will decrease rapidly, followed by breakdown. It can cause the rapid collapse of the dielectric layer and the phenomenon of burning or explosion in an instant. This defect causes the tantalum capacitor to be very fragile in circuits with large surge currents; the surge resistance is the highest among all capacitors.

Dear customers and partners,

We are upgrading our catalogue (UF capacitors).

Softy copy is available right now & hard copies will be available end of this Month.

We will start sharing you with updated catalogs soon.  Thank you for attention.

What are Cathode and Anode?

Let us understand what cathode and anode exactly mean. They are both defined by the flow of current. Therefore, a cathode is an electrode from which the current exits a polarized electrical device.
Likewise, an anode is an electrode from which a current enters into a polarized electrical device.

The terms were finalized in 1834 by William Whewell who adapted the words from the Greek word (kathodos), ‘descent’ or ‘way down’. William had consulted with Michael Faraday for the coining of the terms.

Cathode

When we talk about cathode in chemistry, it is said to be the electrode where reduction occurs. This is common in an electrochemical cell. Here, the cathode is negative as the electrical energy that is supplied to the cell results in the decomposition of chemical compounds. However, it can also be positive as in the case of a galvanic cell where a chemical reaction leads to the generation of electrical energy.

In addition, a cathode is said to be either a hot cathode or a cold cathode. A cathode which is heated in the presence of a filament to emit electrons by thermionic emission is known as a hot cathode whereas cold cathodes are not heated by any filament. A cathode is usually flagged as “cold” if it emits more electrons compared to the ones generated by thermionic emission alone.

Anode

In the most basic form, an anode in electrochemistry is the point where an oxidation reaction occurs. Generally, at an anode, negative ions or anions due to its electrical potential tend to react and give off electrons. These electrons then move up and into the driving circuit.

If we take a galvanic cell, the anode is negative in nature and the electrons mostly move towards the external part of the circuit. In an electrolytic cell, it is again positive. Additionally, an anode can be a plate or wire having an excess positive charge.

Difference Between Anode And Cathode

Here are some key differences between cathode and anode.

This was a question many people asked years ago before this market change. “Why do I need to second source if my supply chain is fine?”
Now, we are getting the question “Can you find me a second source?”

Shortage bothers everyone in electronic components field over year and it’s continue. Especially the shortages for IC, MCU, MOSFET etc. 
Lead time is being pushed out to 90+ weeks for some parts and prices are being raised sometimes more than several times.
Given above, it’s necessary for you to consider a few new Chinese supplier like Topdiode in order to secure and improve your supply chain.

How can Topdiode help?  

Topdiode Group (Topdiode & UF Capacitor) is a leading manufacturer of wide range components, covering capacitors, diode & transistors and MOSFET in China Since 1995.
As a Chinese factory, we are not only good at fast lead time but also quality control. Our market position is to replace first tier brands like Murata, TDK, AVX, Vishay, Littelfuse, Onsemi, Diodes etc with similar quality but much better price.  We keep stock for chip MLCC and some fast running tantalum capacitors, for balance, lead time is around 4 weeks.

Come to contact us for solutions to shortage and cost down, grow business together.
