Product details

680 µF at 4 V — the bulk decoupling anchor

The TPSE687M004R0060: That ESR figure is the one that governs ripple handling in a power rail — at 100 kHz, the 60 mOhm limits the self-heating to about 0.4 W at the rated ripple current, which keeps the core temperature rise within the 125°C ceiling.

The capacitance tolerance is ±20% across this range — the actual capacitance at -55°C will be near the low end of the band, but the 60 mOhm ESR stays within the datasheet limit, so the ripple current derating is minimal at cold start. For a 4 V rated part, the derating rule-of-thumb is to apply no more than 50-60% of rated voltage (2.0-2.4 V) in a low-impedance circuit to avoid surge failures. This is standard practice for solid tantalum capacitors — the manufacturer's application notes recommend a 3:1 voltage derating for high-reliability designs.

Sourcing is through independent distribution channels. The part is not single-source for the TPS series — the 680 µF/4 V combination in the E-case is a standard value carried by multiple distributors, so a second-source hedge is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TPSE687M004R0060 and why does it matter?

The ESR is 60 mOhm. This is the equivalent series resistance at the capacitor's self-resonant frequency — it determines the ripple current handling and the self-heating under AC load.
