6 Super Capacitors Vol.12

4. Typical Applications

As in the characteristics remarked previously, Super Capacitor has characteristics intermediate between general capacitors and

batteries. Because of this, Super Capacitor can be used like a secondary battery when applied to DC circuit. The best suited

applications of Super Capacitor are back-up device for the power shut-down of micro computers and RAM's. The list below

shows main application examples.
