AVX offers capacitors based on a new material system that is ideal in the output of DC/DC converters, regulators, or power supplies. Oxicaps are a niobium based capacitor that is electrically more efficient than small aluminum Electrolytics. OxiCaps are smaller, lighter, noise free, and can replace a larger aluminum electrolytic (because of their low inductance and ESR). These devices will also not burn when operated up to their category voltage.
