Summary
CAP-XX BriteSound dramatically improves the mobile audio experience & accessory audio performance (eg, USB speakers) CAP-XX BriteSound will also protect the playback experience from interference by power interruptions & voltage transients (eg, network poll in a mobile phone) CAP-XX supercapacitors enable more energy to be extracted from batteries, and more peak power to be delivered from current-limited host interfaces Resources:
