One approach to meet this requirement is to switch from 12V to 48V systems which request 100V capacitors. Samsung Electro-Mechanics offers the appropriate product with the 1210i, 10 μF, 100V, X7S MLCC. The multilayer ceramic capacitors’ characteristics make them ideal for industrial and robotics applications that require high performance.
The ceramic capacitors also work without problems at higher temperatures up to 125°C. That feature is crucial because the increasing number of CPU cores, accelerators and high-performance graphics cards causes extreme heat generation.
Application example with AI
It is possible to connect four 12V batteries in series to form a more efficient 48V systems, for example for warehouse robots that operate with artificial intelligence. In addition, power supply systems with 48V are also used more often in network equipment.
