Multilayer ceramic capacitors
Novacap has introduced a line of high-capacitance multilayer ceramic capacitors.
The capacitors combine higher volumetric capacitance per given board area with lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) than alternative solutions.
The high-capacitance devices in the X7R and X5R series are packaged in 0402 to 1812 case sizes with a capacitance value range of 100pF to 100uF.
These devices are ideal for replacing polarised tantalum and electrolytic capacitors to simplify manufacturing.
Their low ESR characteristics, typically one to two orders of magnitude lower than alternative devices at frequencies greater than 10kHZ, 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.
