Integrated Starter Generator
Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) systems play a key role in modern vehicle electrification by combining engine start up, regenerative braking, and motor assist functions into a single compact system. These technologies help improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and support smoother engine restart performance in hybrid and advanced automotive powertrain applications. Because ISG systems operate under high electrical loads and rapid charge-discharge conditions, they require highly reliable power management components capable of maintaining stable performance in demanding automotive environments.
Capacitors to support Integrated Starter Generator should have the following characteristics:
- High RIpple Current
- Low ESR
- Long Life
- Vibration Resistance
- High Temperature
Here are some examples of suggestions from our product lineup.

Recommended Series
GYA
The GYA series features high reliability, low ESR, and high ripple current suitable for automotive applications, including ECUs, pump controls, telematics, and LED headlights.
GYC
The GYC series offers high reliability, low ESR, high ripple current, with a long life at high temperatures (2,000 to 4,000 hours at 135°C) making it ideal for automotive powertrain systems.
GYF
The GYF series offers the high reliability, low ESR, and high ripple current of the GYE series with even higher capacitance in a smaller package.
PCA
The PCA series features highly reliable capacitors with high ripple current, low ESR and a long life of 4,000 hours at 125°C.
Features
Many of our series are AEC-Q200 compliant, meeting the automotive industry’s stringent stress test requirements for passive components.
We produce miniature and surface-mount capacitors to meet space-saving requirements in densely packed automotive PCBs.
Many of our capacitors can support systems with high ripple demands, such as DC-DC converters, onboard chargers, and ECUs. These include our conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitors and conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Heat resistance is essential as electrical components are exposed to the high-temperature environments inside of modern electric vehicle powertrains, including motors, traction inverters, and battery packs.
Capacitors designed for long operating lifespans are critical for applications like ECUs, powertrains, and safety systems.
We offer capacitors designed to withstand high vibration environments, ideal for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics.
