NP0-based MLCCs offer a tolerance of ±30ppm/K up to +150°C
Now claiming to offer the industry’s broadest portfolio of NP0 products in terms of voltage range and capacitance range, TDK has expanded its CGA series of automotive-grade MLCCs based on NP0 ceramics. The devices, which are rated from 250 to 630V, feature a temperature coefficient of 0 and a tolerance of ±30ppm/K up to +150°C.
With this expansion, TDK now offers NP0 MLCCs with rated voltages from 50 to 630V and capacitances from 100pF to 220nF. Operating from -55 to +150°C, the devices are qualified to AEC-Q200. The MLCCs, which are available in case sizes EIA 0402 to 2220 (IEC 1005 to 5750), are suitable for demanding automotive applications which require stable temperatures over a wide range.
The NP0 MLCCs are currently in mass production and will be available from November 2014.
