according to its equation above. There is unavoidable
inductance as well as resistance in all capacitors, and
at some point in frequency, the reactance ceases to be
capacitive and becomes inductive. This frequency is
called the self-resonant point. In wet tantalum capaci-
tors, the resonance is damped by the ESR, and a
smooth, rather than abrupt, transition from capacitive to
inductive reactance (XL = 2πfL) follows.
inductive above the self-resonance, these capacitors
find use as decoupling devices up to 10MHz.
100 kHz, ESR decreases with increasing temperature.
The amount of change is influenced by the size of the
capacitance and is generally more pronounced on
smaller ratings.
A capacitor is a complex impedance consisting of
ESL – Represents lead wire and construction
inductance. In most instances (especially in
tantalum and monolithic ceramic capacitors) it is
insignificant at the basic measurement frequen-
cies of 120 and 1000 Hz.
ESR – Represents the actual ohmic series resist-
ance in series with the capacitance. Lead wires
and capacitor electrodes are contributing sources.
RL – Capacitor Leakage Resistance. Typically it
can reach 50,000 megohms in a tantalum capaci-
tor. It can exceed 10
ics and in film capacitors.
Rd – The dielectric loss contributed by dielectric
absorption and molecular polarization. It becomes
very significant in high frequency measurements
and applications. Its value varies with frequency.
Cd – The inherent dielectric absorption of the
solid tantalum capacitor which typically equates to
1-2% of the applied voltage.
