How to Calculate the Ripple Current of a Tantalum Capacitor

2025-03-20

Do you know how to calculate the ripple current of a tantalum capacitor?

First we give the formula as below:

tantalum capacitor

 

In this formula ,

I is the maximum allowable ripple current (A).

P is the power dissipation (mW).

ESR is the equivalent series resistance (mΩ).

K is the temperature derating factor.

F is the frequency derating factor.

The temperature derating factor K and frequency derating factor F vary under different temperature and frequency conditions.

Below are the corresponding parameters for UF Capacitors’ CA45 series and CA55 series under specific conditions.
