High-capacitance MLCCs

18 February 2009 Passive Components

Novacap has introduced a new line of high-capacitance multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) that combine high volumetric capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR).

The high-capacitance devices in the new X7R and X5R series are packaged in 0402 to 1812 case sizes with a capacitance value range of 100 pF to 100 μF. These devices are ideal for replacing polarised tantalum and electrolytic capacitors to simplify manufacturing. Their low ESR characteristics allow for comparable filter circuit designs to be achieved at typically one-third to one-fifth of the capacitance values. Additionally, these devices offer improved reliability performance over tantalum and electrolytic capacitors utilising less power.

Typical applications for these capacitors include digital circuits, power supply bypass capacitors, LCD modules, smoothing capacitors and input-output filters in DC-DC converters.
