FiiO Selects CAP-XX Supercaps for High Fidelity Portable Music Player

CAP-XX Supercap teams with an LDO and high-end audio amplifier to create an ultra-low-noise, clean, strong power supply enabling high fidelity audio amplification

Sydney, Australia - December 10, 2021 - CAP-XX Limited (LSE:CPX), the leading manufacturer of ultra-thin prismatic and cylindrical supercapacitors, announced that FiiO, a leader in HiFi audio gear from China, has selected the ultra-thin CAP-XX DMF470 supercap for its new M17 high fidelity portable music player. FiiO has integrated desktop-grade components to deliver loud, clear, high-quality sound that is groundbreaking for a portable music player. The CAP-XX DMF470 supercapacitor is equivalent to 10,000 47uF tantalum capacitors providing a solid foundation for a large power supply. It teams with a TI LT3045 LDO to create an ultra-low-noise, clean, strong power supply capable of high-fidelity audio amplification. Specifically, the high capacitance and very low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of the supercapacitor stiffens the power rail for the device's high-end audio amplifier which reduces distortion and increases the fidelity of the sound.

The CAP-XX supercapacitor delivers power bursts to offload peak-power functions from the battery, solving the typical problems, such as weak bass, distortion, and flat-sounding music, in delivering high power and high-quality audio in battery-powered portable devices.

The CAP-XX DMF470 supercap, previously manufactured by Murata under license from CAP-XX, is now produced in CAP-XX's new factory at Seven Hills, NSW, Australia using production lines acquired from Murata. DMF470 features include:

· 470 mF / 5.5 Volt

· 21 x 14 x 3.2 mm

· Very low ESR of 45 mΩ

· Over 10-year life or 1 million charge discharge cycles

"We are proud to play a pivotal role in the groundbreaking performance of FiiO's new M17 portable music player," said Song Lau, GM Sales & Marketing, Asia Pacific Region at CAP-XX. "This is just one example of how our thin prismatic supercapacitors can be excellent supporting actors for power management in all kinds of electronic devices."
