Catering to the increasing demands of several producers of high performance solid-state drives that employ ultracapacitors to supply integrated backup power in enterprise storage products, Maxwell recently augmented the production capacity for small cell Boostcap ultracapacitors.
Presently, Maxwell is supplying production level quantities of Boostcap ultracapacitor cells ranging from 10 to 25 farads for SSD power loss protection. The Boostcap ultracapacitor cells and multi-cell modules deliver safe and reliable power solutions for applications in consumer and industrial electronics, transportation and telecommunications.
“Ultracapacitors provide an independent, instantly available, source of backup power to ensure that no data is lost in the event of a main power system failure, and with their durability and long operational life they should never need to be serviced or replaced. The compact, prismatic form factor of our BOOSTCAP PC10 product even enables some SSD producers to integrate a ‘mini-UPS’ system into their drives without modifying the form factor,” mentioned David Schramm, Maxwell’s CEO and president.
“Flash memory is revolutionizing the storage industry, and we are excited that our products are now playing an increasingly important role in this rapidly advancing technology. This application demonstrates the versatility of ultracapacitor technology in supporting advancements in industries as diverse as information technology, transportation, renewable energy and consumer and industrial electronics,” he added.
With Condis high-voltage grading and coupling capacitors, the safety and reliability of electric utility infrastructure and other applications involving transport, distribution and measurement of high-voltage electrical energy is ensured.
