AVX Corporation has both expanded and improved upon its AEC-Q200-qualified TCQ Series Automotive Conductive Polymer Chip Capacitors, which have been field-proven in a wide range of demanding automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications with limited board space and challenging operating environments since 2015. The series now offers two new case sizes for a total of five, several […]
safety-certified MLCCs meet safety requirements at higher voltages
Knowles Precision Devices introduced a newly expanded range of safety-certified surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for electronic device applications. The new capacitors offer customers a unique combination of capability and safety certification and meet the demands of AEC-Q200 standards, modems, and AC-DC power supplies where a lightning strike or other voltage transients represent a threat […]
High-res audio amp designed for automotive apps
The HFDA801A from STMicroelectronics is a high-resolution audio amplifier that is specifically designed for compact, cost-effective automotive applications. The HFDA801A is a 2MHz switching pulse-width modulation (PWM) Class-D amplifier with a quad-bridge configuration. An integrated high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) ensures hi-fi quality sound under any load condition, with noiseless turn-on/turn-off and without creating any output artifacts. With a signal-to-noise […]
MLCCs sport 1.0 µF ±20% values for 4-Vdc-rated automotive apps
Murata announced the ultra-thin LW reversed, low equivalent series inductor (ESL) multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with a capacitance value of 1.0 µF ±20% for 4 Vdc-rated automotive applications. With a 0204-inch size (0.5 x 1.0 mm) footprint and a maximum thickness of just 0.22 mm, the LLC152D70G105ME01 decoupling capacitor can be implemented on the back […]
Space-saving film capacitors excel at EMI suppression
KEMET, a subsidiary of Yageo Corporation, announces its new R52 series of compact polypropylene film X2 EMI (electromagnetic interference) suppression capacitors. This series fulfills the growing need of automotive, industrial, consumer, and energy applications that require a smaller, high-capacitance X2 class solution for suppressing EMI. While the R52 series offers capacitance values up to 22µF, […]
MLCCs provide 1.0 μF in 01005-in packages
Murata Manufacturing has developed the world’s first multilayer ceramic capacitor with a capacitance value of 1.0μF in the 01005-inch size (0.4×0.2mm), which is increasingly used in a wide range of mobile electronic devices including smartphones. Mass production of the GRM022R60G105M with a rated voltage of 4Vdc has already started and mass production of GRM022R60J105M with a […]
