Application Guide
KEMET Corporation is a leading global supplier of electronic components. We offer our customers the broadest selection of capacitor technologies in the industry across all dielectrics, along with an expanding range of electro-mechanical devices, electromagnetic compatibility solutions, and supercapacitors. Our vision is to be the preferred supplier of electronic component solutions for customers demanding the highest standards of quality, delivery, and service.
Solid State Drive (SSD)
Solid State Drives (SSDs) need a bank of capacitors to “hold-up” the power rail when system power is lost.
Smart Meter
Smart meters are a key component of the updated national infrastructure and smart grid systems.
Smart Bulb and Lighting
Adding "intelligence" to even what is one of our most simple devices, the light bulb, permits the development of new and exciting applications.
Network Switch
Network switches based on high-speed FPGAs and ASICs need high-performance decoupling solutions.
Laptop Computer
Capacitors and components for laptop computers can be found in the laptop itself as well as the chargers.
IoT Wearable Devices
Wearable devices and IoT (Internet of Things) are terms that continue to grow although the future of the market is a bit nebulous, with it changing directions seemingly every year without going down one specific path.
Inverters and DC Link
This type of inverter is usually used in AC/DC/AC circuit topologies such as the ones used in wind or solar electricity generators.
High-Efficiency Appliances
High-efficiency appliances are found in markets around the world.
Flat Panel TV
As TVs get thinner, and 4K panels become more commonplace, the need for high frequency and low profile components grows.
Drones
Drones have quickly gone from novelty toys to smart devices that are quickly finding use in industries never intended for them, most notably the package delivery industry and the TV/Movie industry.
DC Power Distribution
DC-to-DC converters use input decoupling capacitors along with output filtering and decoupling capacitors.
Automotive: Safety
The safety subsystems for a car all work in conjunction to provide passengers with highly responsive and accurate safety features such as anti-lock brakes and airbags.
Automotive: Powertrain
The powertrain subsystem of a vehicle is comprised of all the devices and systems in charge of propulsion of the car.
Automotive: Infotainment/Control
The automotive and control system of a car is in charge of the dashboard and entertainment and navigation features of a car.
Augmented/Virtual Reality
Augmented and virtual reality headsets are a new type of immersive consumer technology that uses advanced motion detection algorithms and display methods to present the users with a virtual or enhanced world view.
AC-to-DC Converter
Sometimes called rectifiers, these devices are what are found in power adapters for DC systems like laptops, TVs, and tablets.
