Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode capable of delivering ultra low ESR and improved capacitance retention at high frequencies. KO-CAP combines the low ESR of multilayer ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminum electrolytic, and the volumetric efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount package.

Nanocrystals are crystals measuring less than 100 nanometers in at least one dimension. The smallest fundamental component of a nanocrystal is called the crystallite, or grain. Materials that have nanocrystals distributed throughout, and have significantly different characteristics, as a result, are called nanocrystalline materials. Semiconductor nanocrystals with dimensions smaller than 10 nm are also sometimes called quantum dots.

In applications in which energy conservation is critical, such as wind or solar inverters or electric-vehicle (EV) powertrains, distributing power at high voltage can help to reduce I2R losses. The DC link supplying the inverter can be 3 V to 400 V in an EV application, for example, or even higher for wind or solar-power conditioning. However, high operating voltages like these bring additional safety challenges not only for end users but also for components — even those with a suitable voltage rating stamped on the case.
