Efficiently Packaged Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

摘要

Medtronic has developed stacked-plate aluminum electrolytic capacitors for use in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) that provide substantial gains in energy density, reduction in thickness, and improvement in shape flexibility. More than 100,000 ICDs based upon these stacked-plate capacitors have been implanted in people.
