AVX has extended the capacitance range of its miniature high CV X5R MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor) series. Available in eight chip sizes ranging from 01005 to 1812, voltage ratings for the series span 4 V to 100 V and capacitance values now span 100 pF to 100 μF.
The miniature, high capacitance series also exhibits very low ESR and high volumetric efficiency, which makes it ideal for decoupling and filtering applications in a broad range of mobile, medial and digital electronics, including cellphones, tablets, high-speed processors/FPGAs and implantable medical devices.
Comprised of high-K dielectric materials, AVX’s high CV X5R MLCCs are rated for operational temperatures spanning -55°C to +85°C and exhibit a ±15% temperature coefficient of capacitance. Unspecified capacitance values and tolerance options beyond the standard ±10% and ±20% may be available upon request.
