Summary
Develop a High Frequency Electrochemical Capacitor (HF-EC) housed inside a compact, surface-mount package to support operation at high-frequencies and promote circuit miniaturization. The HF-EC is to have improved filtering for applications at line frequencies and replace the use of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, or AECs. These devices specifically target use cases in energy harvesting and filtering applications.
