Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors

General type CGA series, automotive grade of TDK's multilayer ceramic chip capacitor, is a surface-mounted component, which multilayer dielectrics and inner electrodes are stacked alternately. The monolithic structure ensures superior mechanical strength and high reliability. Also, outstanding frequency characteristics such as low ESR and low ESL are provided owing to the simpler structure than other capacitors. The capacitance range is up to 100µF and the lineup has been expanding to a range of the film capacitor and electrolytic capacitor.

Features

• Superior mechanical strength and high reliability due to the monolithic structure
• Outstanding frequency characteristics such as low ESR and low ESL by the simple structure
• Low self-heating value and high resistance to ripple on account of the low ESR
• No polarity
• AEC-Q200 compliant

Applications

• Smoothing and decoupling use in power lines for automotive applications such as ADAS, autonomous driving system ECU
• LC resonance circuit (C0G type)
• Applications requiring high reliability
