source: Brno University of Technology CEITEC, EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: Degradation of supercapacitor (SC) is analyzed by accelerated aging test. Evolution of SC parameters is determined before the aging test, and during up to 8 x 105 cycles of...

source: University “Politehnica” of Bucharest, EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: Current trends in supercapacitor technology (principially in lowering series discharge resistance) have promoted the devices into roles parallel to, or replacing traditional batteries. In cases where power consumption is low,...

source: Gdańsk University of Technology, EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: Low frequency noise is a well-known tool for quality and reliability assessment of electronic devices. This phenomenon is observed in different electrochemical devices as well (e.g., smart windows, electrochemical corrosion...

source: FEEC Brno University of Technology, EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: A new project with a budget of 262 thousands Euro was motivated by the lack of micromachined energy storage solutions that can be integrated with a MEMS harvester on...

source: Kemet Electronics, EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: There are several grades of electronic components that depends on their long-term reliability and resistance to harsh environments, including commercial, automotive, high reliability COTS, and MIL. This paper describes the differences in...

source: ASRC Federal Space and Defense (NASA,USA), EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: Insertion of COTS components into hi-rel systems require extensive environmental testing of the parts that often results in parametric failures.  Based on experience with commercial and hi-rel PME...

source: ESA, EPCI e-Symposium Abstract: The presented presentation slides are prepared based on ESA long term experience with passive components use in space environment. Several failures and investigations during the last years linked with the use of commercial...
