loads. The company claims that its small devices possess the lowest RESR
values for their size (<0.1 Ω) and time constant τ levels as fast as 20 msec.
Its intended market targets high volume mobile and consumer electronic
devices (cameras, laptops, and mobile phones).
Nesscap — Initially established as NESS in 1988, this Korean supercapacitor manufacturer changed its name to Nesscap in 2002. It offers a similar
diversity in small and large cells in competition with Maxwell Technologies.
Its cell capacitances range from a few farads to 5,000 F within a similar voltage range. Its large capacitance cells have prismatic designs for efficient module stacking. This led to its entry into the automotive market. Nesscap also
