C0G (NP0) Dielectric

General Specifications

C0G (NP0) is the most popular formulation of the

“temperature-compensating,” EIA Class I ceramic materials.

Modern C0G (NP0) formulations contain neodymium,

samarium and other rare earth oxides.

C0G (NP0) ceramics offer one of the most stable capacitor

dielectrics available. Capacitance change with temperature

is 0 30ppm/ꢁC which is less than 0.3ꢀ ⌬C from -55ꢁC

to +125ꢁC. Capacitance drift or hysteresis for C0G (NP0)

ceramics is negligible at less than 0.05ꢀ versus up to

2ꢀ for films. Typical capacitance change with life is less

than 0.1ꢀ for C0G (NP0), one-fifth that shown by most

other dielectrics. C0G (NP0) formulations show no aging

characteristics.

X8R Dielectric

General Specifications

AVX have developed a range of multilayer ceramic capacitors designed for use in applications up to

150ºC. These capacitors are manufactured with an X8R dielectric material which has a capacitance

variation of 15ꢀ between -55ºC and +150ºC.

The need for X8R performance has been driven by customer requirements for parts that operate at

elevated temperatures. They provide a highly reliable capacitor with low loss and stable capacitance

over temperature.

They are ideal for automotive under the hood sensors, measure while drilling and log while drilling.

Typical applications include wire line logging tools such as gamma ray receivers, acoustic

transceivers and micro-resistivity tools. They can also be used as bulk capacitors for high

temperature camera modules.

X8R capacitors are available as standard and Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts. Optional

termination systems, tin, FLEXITERM^®and conductive epoxy for hybrid applications are available.

Providing this series with our FLEXITERM^®termination system provides further advantage to

customers by way of enhanced resistance to both, temperature cycling and mechanical damage.

X7R Dielectric

General Specifications

X7R formulations are called “temperature stable” ceramics

and fall into EIA Class II materials. X7R is the most popular of

these intermediate dielectric constant materials. Its tempera-

ture variation of capacitance is within

15ꢀ from

-55ꢁC to +125ꢁC. This capacitance change is non-linear.

Capacitance for X7R varies under the influence of electrical

operating conditions such as voltage and frequency.

X7R dielectric chip usage covers the broad spectrum of

industrial applications where known changes in capacitance

due to applied voltages are acceptable.

X7S Dielectric

General Specifications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

X7S formulations are called “temperature stable” ceramics and fall

into EIA Class II materials. Its temperature variation of capacitance

is within 22ꢀ from –55ꢁC to +125ꢁC. This capacitance change is

non-linear.

Capacitance for X7S varies under the influence of electrical operating

conditions such as voltage and frequency.

X7S dielectric chip usage covers the broad spectrum of industrial

applications where known changes in capacitance due to applied

voltages are acceptable.

Y5V Dielectric

General Specifications

Y5V formulations are for general-purpose use in a limited

temperature range. They have a wide temperature

characteristic of +22ꢀ –82ꢀ capacitance change over the

operating temperature range of –30ꢁC to +85ꢁC.

These characteristics make Y5V ideal for decoupling

applications within limited temperature range.

General Specifications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AVX introduces the LT series comprising a range of low profile

products in our X5R and X7R dielectric. X5R is a Class II dielectric

with temperature varation of capacitance within 15ꢀ from –55ꢁC to

+85ꢁC. Offerings include 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805 1206, and 1210

packages in compact, low profile designs. The LT series is ideal for

decoupling and filtering applications where height clearance is limited.

AVX is also expanding the low profile products in our X7R dielectric.

X7R is a Class II dielectric with temperature variation of capacitance

within 15ꢀ from -55ºC to +125ºC. Please contact the factory for

availability of any additional values not listed.

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors consistently for more than 10 years. Products

have been developed and tested specifically for automotive applications and

all manufacturing facilities are QS9000 and VDA 6.4 approved.

As part of our sustained investment in capacity and state of the art

technology, we are now transitioning from the established Pd/Ag electrode

system to a Base Metal Electrode system (BME).

AVX is using AECQ200 as the qualification vehicle for this transition. A detailed

qualification package is available on request and contains results on a range

of part numbers including:

• X7R dielectric components containing BME electrode and copper

terminations with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

• X7R dielectric components, BME electrode with epoxy finish for conductive

glue mounting.

• X7R dielectric components BME electrode and soft terminations with a

Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

• NP0 dielectric components containing Pd/Ag electrode and silver termina-

tion with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

MLCC with FLEXITERM^®

General Specifications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

With increased requirements from the automotive industry for additional

component robustness, AVX recognized the need to produce a MLCC with

enhanced mechanical strength. It was noted that many components may be

subject to severe flexing and vibration when used in various under the hood

automotive and other harsh environment applications.

To satisfy the requirement for enhanced mechanical strength, AVX had to

find a way of ensuring electrical integrity is maintained whilst external forces

are being applied to the component. It was found that the structure of the

termination needed to be flexible and after much research and development,

AVX launched FLEXITERM^®. FLEXITERM^®is designed to enhance the

mechanical flexure and temperature cycling performance of a standard

ceramic capacitor with an X7R dielectric. The industry standard for

flexure is 2mm minimum. Using FLEXITERM^®, AVX provides up to

5mm of flexure without internal cracks. Beyond 5mm, the capacitor

will generally fail “open”.

As well as for automotive applications FLEXITERM^®will provide Design

Engineers with a satisfactory solution when designing PCB’s which may be

subject to high levels of board flexure.

APPLICATIONS

High Flexure Stress Circuit Boards

• e.g. Depanelization: Components near edges

of board.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

• High mechanical performance able to withstand, 5mm bend test

guaranteed.

• Increased temperature cycling performance, 3000 cycles and beyond.

• Flexible termination system.

• Reduction in circuit board flex failures.

Variable Temperature Applications

• Soft termination offers improved reliability per-

formance in applications where there is tem-

perature variation.

• e.g. All kind of engine sensors: Direct

connection to battery rail.

Automotive Applications

• Base metal electrode system.

• Automotive or commercial grade products available.

• Improved reliability.

• Excellent mechanical performance and

thermo mechanical performance.

FLEXISAFE MLC Chips

For Ultra Safety Critical Applications

AVX have developed a range of components specifically for safety

critical applications.

Utilizing the award-winning FLEXITERM™ layer in conjunction with

the cascade design previously used for high voltage MLCCs, a

range of ceramic capacitors is now available for customers who

require components designed with an industry leading set of

safety features.

The FLEXITERM™ layer protects the component from any

damage to the ceramic resulting from mechanical stress during

PCB assembly or use with end customers. Board flexure type

mechanical damage accounts for the majority of MLCC failures.

The addition of the cascade structure protects the component

from low insulation resistance failure resulting from other common

causes for failure; thermal stress damage, repetitive strike ESD

damage and placement damage. With the inclusion of the

cascade design structure to complement the FLEXITERM™ layer,

the FLEXISAFE range of capacitors has unbeatable safety

features.

BENEFITS OF USING CAPACITOR

ARRAYS

AVX capacitor arrays offer designers the opportunity to

lower placement costs, increase assembly line output

through lower component count per board and to reduce

real estate requirements.

For high volume users of cap arrays using the very latest

placement equipment capable of placing 10 components per

second, the increase in throughput can be very significant and

can have the overall effect of reducing the number of place-

ment machines required to mount components:

Reduced Costs

Placement costs are greatly reduced by effectively placing

one device instead of four or two. This results in increased

throughput and translates into savings on machine time.

Inventory levels are lowered and further savings are made

on solder materials, etc.

If 120 million 2-element arrays or 40 million 4-element arrays

were placed in a year, the requirement for placement

equipment would be reduced by one machine.

During a 20Hr operational day a machine places 720K

components. Over a working year of 167 days the machine

can place approximately 120 million. If 2-element arrays are

mounted instead of discrete components, then the number

of placements is reduced by a factor of two and in the

scenario where 120 million 2-element arrays are placed there

is a saving of one pick and place machine.

Space Saving

Space savings can be quite dramatic when compared to

the use of discrete chip capacitors. As an example, the

0508 4-element array offers a space reduction of ꢃ40ꢀ vs.

4 x 0402 discrete capacitors and of ꢃ70ꢀ vs. 4 x 0603

discrete capacitors. (This calculation is dependent on the

spacing of the discrete components.)

Smaller volume users can also benefit from replacing

discrete components with arrays. The total number of place-

ments is reduced thus creating spare capacity on placement

machines. This in turn generates the opportunity to increase

overall production output without further investment in new

equipment.

Increased Throughput

Assuming that there are 220 passive components placed in a

mobile phone:

A reduction in the passive count to 200 (by replacing

discrete components with arrays) results in an increase in

throughput of approximately 9ꢀ.

A reduction of 40 placements increases throughput by 18ꢀ.

Capacitor Array

Multi-Value Capacitor Array (IPC)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A recent addition to the array product range is the Multi-

Value Capacitor Array. These devices combine two different

capacitance values in standard ‘Cap Array’ packages and

are available with a maximum ratio between the two

capacitance values of 100:1. The multi-value array is

currently available in the 0405 and 0508 2-element styles

and also in the 0612 4-element style.

ADVANTAGES OF THE MULTI-VALUE

CAPACITOR ARRAYS

Enhanced Performance Due to Reduced Parasitic

Inductance

When connected in parallel, not only do discrete capacitors

of different values give the desired self-resonance, but an

additional unwanted parallel resonance also results. This

parallel resonance is induced between each capacitor’s self-

resonant frequencies and produces a peak in impedance

response. For decoupling and bypassing applications this

peak will result in a frequency band of reduced decoupling

and in filtering applications reduced attenuation.

Whereas to date AVX capacitor arrays have been suited to

applications where multiple capacitors of the same value are

used, the multi-value array introduces a new flexibility to the

range. The multi-value array can replace discrete capacitors

of different values and can be used for broadband

decoupling applications. The 0508 x 2 element multi-value

array would be particularly recommended in this application.

Another application is filtering the 900/1800 or 1900MHz

noise in mobile phones. The 0405 2-element, low

capacitance value NP0, (C0G) device would be suited to this

application, in view of the space saving requirements of

mobile phone manufacturers.

The multi-value capacitor array, combining capacitors in one

unit, virtually eliminates the problematic parallel resonance,

by minimizing parasitic inductance between the capacitors,

thus enhancing the broadband decoupling/filtering

performance of the part.

Reduced ESR

An advantage of connecting two capacitors in parallel is a

significant reduction in ESR. However, as stated above,

using discrete components brings with it the unwanted side

effect of parallel resonance. The multi-value cap array is

an excellent alternative as not only does it perform the

same function as parallel capacitors but also it reduces the

uncertainty of the frequency response.

Low Inductance Capacitors

Introduction

The signal integrity characteristics of a Power Delivery

Network (PDN) are becoming critical aspects of board level

and semiconductor package designs due to higher operating

frequencies, larger power demands, and the ever shrinking

lower and upper voltage limits around low operating voltages.

These power system challenges are coming from mainstream

designs with operating frequencies of 300MHz or greater,

modest ICs with power demand of 15 watts or more, and

operating voltages below 3 volts.

capacitor, one resistor, and one inductor. The RLC values in

this model are commonly referred to as equivalent series

capacitance (ESC), equivalent series resistance (ESR), and

equivalent series inductance (ESL).

The ESL of a capacitor determines the speed of energy

transfer to a load. The lower the ESL of a capacitor, the faster

that energy can be transferred to a load. Historically, there

has been a tradeoff between energy storage (capacitance)

and inductance (speed of energy delivery). Low ESL devices

typically have low capacitance. Likewise, higher capacitance

devices typically have higher ESLs. This tradeoff between

ESL (speed of energy delivery) and capacitance (energy

storage) drives the PDN design topology that places the

fastest low ESL capacitors as close to the load as possible.

Low Inductance MLCCs are found on semiconductor

packages and on boards as close as possible to the load.

The classic PDN topology is comprised of a series of

capacitor stages. Figure 1 is an example of this architecture

with multiple capacitor stages.

An ideal capacitor can transfer all its stored energy to a load

instantly. A real capacitor has parasitics that prevent

instantaneous transfer of a capacitor’s stored energy. The

true nature of a capacitor can be modeled as an RLC

equivalent circuit. For most simulation purposes, it is possible

to model the characteristics of a real capacitor with one

LOW INDUCTANCE CHIP CAPACITORS

INTERDIGITATED CAPACITORS

The key physical characteristic determining equivalent series

inductance (ESL) of a capacitor is the size of the current loop

it creates. The smaller the current loop, the lower the ESL. A

standard surface mount MLCC is rectangular in shape with

electrical terminations on its shorter sides. A Low Inductance

Chip Capacitor (LICC) sometimes referred to as Reverse

Geometry Capacitor (RGC) has its terminations on the longer

side of its rectangular shape.

The size of a current loop has the greatest impact on the ESL

characteristics of a surface mount capacitor. There is a

secondary method for decreasing the ESL of a capacitor.

This secondary method uses adjacent opposing current loops

to reduce ESL. The InterDigitated Capacitor (IDC) utilizes

both primary and secondary methods of reducing inductance.

The IDC architecture shrinks the distance between

terminations to minimize the current loop size, then further

reduces inductance by creating adjacent opposing current

loops.

When the distance between terminations is reduced, the size

of the current loop is reduced. Since the size of the current

loop is the primary driver of inductance, an 0306 with a

smaller current loop has significantly lower ESL then an 0603.

The reduction in ESL varies by EIA size, however, ESL is

typically reduced 60ꢀ or more with an LICC versus a

standard MLCC.

An IDC is one single capacitor with an internal structure that

has been optimized for low ESL. Similar to standard MLCC

versus LICCs, the reduction in ESL varies by EIA case size.

Typically, for the same EIA size, an IDC delivers an ESL that is

at least 80ꢀ lower than an MLCC.

Low Inductance Capacitors

Introduction

LAND GRID ARRAY (LGA) CAPACITORS

LOW INDUCTANCE CHIP ARRAYS (LICA^®)

Land Grid Array (LGA) capacitors are based on the first Low

ESL MLCC technology created to specifically address the

design needs of current day Power Delivery Networks (PDNs).

This is the 3rd low inductance capacitor technology

developed by AVX. LGA technology provides engineers with

new options. The LGA internal structure and manufacturing

technology eliminates the historic need for a device to be

physically small to create small current loops to minimize

inductance.

The LICA^®product family is the result of a joint development

effort between AVX and IBM to develop a high performance

MLCC family of decoupling capacitors. LICA was introduced

in the 1980s and remains the leading choice of designers in

high performance semiconductor packages and high

reliability board level decoupling applications.

LICA^®products are used in 99.999ꢀ uptime semiconductor

package applications on both ceramic and organic

substrates. The C4 solder ball termination option is the

perfect compliment to flip-chip packaging technology.

Mainframe class CPUs, ultimate performance multi-chip

modules, and communications systems that must have the

reliability of 5 9’s use LICA^®.

LICA^®products with either Sn/Pb or Pb-free solder balls are

used for decoupling in high reliability military and aerospace

applications. These LICA^®devices are used for decoupling of

large pin count FPGAs, ASICs, CPUs, and other high power

ICs with low operating voltages.

The first family of LGA products are 2 terminal devices. A

2 terminal 0306 LGA delivers ESL performance that is equal

to or better than an 0306 8 terminal IDC. The 2 terminal 0805

LGA delivers ESL performance that approaches the 0508

8 terminal IDC. New designs that would have used 8 terminal

IDCs are moving to 2 terminal LGAs because the layout is

easier for a 2 terminal device and manufacturing yield is better

for a 2 terminal LGA versus an 8 terminal IDC.

LGA technology is also used in a 4 terminal family of products

that AVX is sampling and will formerly introduce in 2008.

Beyond 2008, there are new multi-terminal LGA product

families that will provide even more attractive options for PDN

designers.

When high reliability decoupling applications require the very

lowest ESL capacitors, LICA^®products are the best option.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The key physical characteristic determining equivalent

series inductance (ESL) of a capacitor is the size of the

current loop it creates. The smaller the current loop, the

lower the ESL.

A standard surface mount MLCC is rectangular in shape

with electrical terminations on its shorter sides. A Low

Inductance Chip Capacitor (LICC) sometimes referred to

as Reverse Geometry Capacitor (RGC) has its

terminations on the longer sides of its rectangular shape.

The image on the right shows the termination differences

between an MLCC and an LICC.

When the distance between terminations is reduced, the

size of the current loop is reduced. Since the size of the

current loop is the primary driver of inductance, an 0306

with a smaller current loop has significantly lower ESL

then an 0603. The reduction in ESL varies by EIA size,

however, ESL is typically reduced 60ꢀ or more with an

LICC versus a standard MLCC.

Low Inductance Capacitors (SnPb)

0612/0508/0306/0204 Tin Lead Termination “B”

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The key physical characteristic determining equivalent

series inductance (ESL) of a capacitor is the size of the

current loop it creates. The smaller the current loop, the

lower the ESL.

A standard surface mount MLCC is rectangular in shape

with electrical terminations on its shorter sides. A Low

Inductance Chip Capacitor (LICC) sometimes referred to

as Reverse Geometry Capacitor (RGC) has its

terminations on the longer sides of its rectangular shape.

The image on the right shows the termination differences

between an MLCC and an LICC.

LICC

MLCC

When the distance between terminations is reduced, the

size of the current loop is reduced. Since the size of the

current loop is the primary driver of inductance, an 0306

with a smaller current loop has significantly lower ESL

then an 0603. The reduction in ESL varies by EIA size,

however, ESL is typically reduced 60ꢀ or more with an

LICC versus a standard MLCC.

IDC Low Inductance Capacitors (RoHS)

0612/0508 IDC (InterDigitated Capacitors)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Inter-Digitated Capacitors (IDCs) are used for both semiconductor

package and board level decoupling. The equivalent series

inductance (ESL) of a single capacitor or an array of capacitors in

parallel determines the response time of a Power Delivery Network

(PDN). The lower the ESL of a PDN, the faster the response time.

A designer can use many standard MLCCs in parallel to reduce ESL

or a low ESL Inter-Digitated Capacitor (IDC) device. These IDC

devices are available in versions with a maximum height of 0.95mm

or 0.55mm.

0612

0508

IDCs are typically used on packages of semiconductor products

–

+

–

with power levels of 15 watts or greater. Inter-Digitated Capacitors

are used on CPU, GPU, ASIC, and ASSP devices produced on

0.13µ, 90nm, 65nm, and 45nm processes. IDC devices are used

on both ceramic and organic package substrates. These low ESL

surface mount capacitors can be placed on the bottom side or the

top side of a package substrate. The low profile 0.55mm maximum

height IDCs can easily be used on the bottom side of BGA

packages or on the die side of packages under a heat spreader.

+

–

+

IDCs are used for board level decoupling of systems with speeds of

300MHz or greater. Low ESL IDCs free up valuable board space by

reducing the number of capacitors required versus standard

MLCCs. There are additional benefits to reducing the number of

capacitors beyond saving board space including higher reliability

from a reduction in the number of components and lower

placement costs based on the need for fewer capacitors.

LGA Low Inductance Capacitors

0204/0306/0805 Land Grid Arrays

Land Grid Array (LGA) capacitors are the latest family of low inductance MLCCs from AVX.

These new LGA products are the third low inductance family developed by AVX. The in-

novative LGA technology sets a new standard for low inductance MLCC performance.

Electronic Products awarded its 2006 Product of the Year Award to the LGA Decoupling

capacitor.

Our initial 2 terminal versions of LGA technology deliver the performance of an 8 terminal

IDC low inductance MLCC with a number of advantages including:

• Simplified layout of 2 large solder pads compared to 8 small pads for IDCs

• Opportunity to reduce PCB or substrate contribution to system ESL by using multi-

ple parallel vias in solder pads

• Advanced FCT manufacturing process used to create uniformly flat terminations on

the capacitor that resist “tombstoning”

• Better solder joint reliability

APPLICATIONS

Semiconductor Packages

• Microprocessors/CPUs

• Graphics Processors/GPUs

• Chipsets

• FPGAs

• ASICs

Board Level Device Decoupling

• Frequencies of 300 MHz or more

• ICs drawing 15W or more

• Low voltages

• High speed buses

High Voltage MLC Chips

For 600V to 5000V Application

High value, low leakage and small size are difficult parameters to obtain

in capacitors for high voltage systems. AVX special high voltage MLC

chip capacitors meet these performance characteristics and are

designed for applications such as snubbers in high frequency power

converters, resonators in SMPS, and high voltage coupling/dc blocking.

These high voltage chip designs exhibit low ESRs at high frequencies.

Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to make

high voltage MLC chip products. Special precautions must be taken in

applying these chips in surface mount assemblies. The temperature

gradient during heating or cooling cycles should not exceed 4ºC per

second. The preheat temperature must be within 50ºC of the peak

temperature reached by the ceramic bodies through the soldering

process. Chip sizes 1210 and larger should be reflow soldered only.

Capacitors may require protective surface coating to prevent external

arcing.

High Voltage MLC Chips

Tin/Lead Termination “B”

For 600V to 5000V Application

AVX Corporation will support those customers for commercial and

military Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors with a termination consisting of

5ꢀ minimum lead. This termination is indicated by the use of a “B” in

the 12th position of the AVX Catalog Part Number. This fulfills AVX’s

commitment to providing a full range of products to our customers. AVX

has provided in the following pages, a full range of values that we are

offering in this “B” termination.

Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to make

high voltage MLC chip product. Special precautions must be taken in

applying these chips in surface mount assemblies. The temperature

gradient during heating or cooling cycles should not exceed 4ºC per

second. The preheat temperature must be within 50ºC of the peak

temperature reached by the ceramic bodies through the soldering

process. Chip sizes 1210 and larger should be reflow soldered only.

Capacitors may require protective surface coating to prevent external

arcing.

General Description

Basic Construction – A multilayer ceramic (MLC)

capacitor is a monolithic block of ceramic containing two

sets of offset, interleaved planar electrodes that extend to

two opposite surfaces of the ceramic dielectric. This simple

structure requires a considerable amount of sophistication,

both in material and manufacture, to produce it in the quality

and quantities needed in today’s electronic equipment.

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor

Figure 1

Formulations – Multilayer ceramic capacitors are available

in both Class 1 and Class 2 formulations. Temperature

compensating formulation are Class 1 and temperature

stable and general application formulations are classified

as Class 2.

Class 2 – EIA Class 2 capacitors typically are based on the

chemistry of barium titanate and provide a wide range of

capacitance values and temperature stability. The most

commonly used Class 2 dielectrics are X7R and Y5V. The

X7R provides intermediate capacitance values which vary

only 15ꢀ over the temperature range of -55ꢁC to 125ꢁC. It

finds applications where stability over a wide temperature

range is required.

Class 1 – Class 1 capacitors or temperature compensating

capacitors are usually made from mixtures of titanates

where barium titanate is normally not a major part of the

mix. They have predictable temperature coefficients and

in general, do not have an aging characteristic. Thus they

are the most stable capacitor available. The most popular

Class 1 multilayer ceramic capacitors are C0G (NP0)

temperature compensating capacitors (negative-positive

0 ppm/ꢁC).

The Y5V provides the highest capacitance values and is

used in applications where limited temperature changes are

expected. The capacitance value for Y5V can vary from

22ꢀ to -82ꢀ over the -30ꢁC to 85ꢁC temperature range.

All Class 2 capacitors vary in capacitance value under the

influence of temperature, operating voltage (both AC and

DC), and frequency. For additional information on

performance changes with operating conditions, consult

AVX’s software, SpiCap.

88

General Description

Effects of Voltage – Variations in voltage have little effect

on Class 1 dielectric but does affect the capacitance and

dissipation factor of Class 2 dielectrics. The application of DC

voltage reduces both the capacitance and dissipation factor

while the application of an AC voltage within a reasonable

range tends to increase both capacitance and dissipation

|factor readings. If a high enough AC voltage is applied,

eventually it will reduce capacitance just as a DC voltage will.

Figure 2 shows the effects of AC voltage.

AC Measurement Volts at 1.0 KHz

In specifying capacitance change with temperature for Class

2 materials, EIA expresses the capacitance change over an

operating temperature range by a 3 symbol code. The first

symbol represents the cold temperature end of the tempera-

ture range, the second represents the upper limit of the

operating temperature range and the third symbol represents

the capacitance change allowed over the operating temper-

ature range. Table 1 provides a detailed explanation of the EIA

system.

Figure 3

Typical effect of the application of DC voltage is shown in

Figure 4. The voltage coefficient is more pronounced for

higher K dielectrics. These figures are shown for room tem-

perature conditions. The combination characteristic known as

voltage temperature limits which shows the effects of rated

voltage over the operating temperature range is shown in

Figure 5 for the military BX characteristic.

impedance characteristics of capacitors. This effect is much

more pronounced in high dielectric constant ceramic

formulation than in low K formulations. AVX’s SpiCap

software generates impedance, ESR, series inductance,

series resonant frequency and capacitance all as functions

of frequency, temperature and DC bias for standard chip

sizes and styles. It is available free from AVX and can be

Effects of Time – Class 2 ceramic capacitors change

capacitance and dissipation factor with time as well as

temperature, voltage and frequency. This change with time is

known as aging. Aging is caused by a gradual re-alignment

of the crystalline structure of the ceramic and produces an

exponential loss in capacitance and decrease in dissipation

factor versus time. A typical curve of aging rate for

semistable ceramics is shown in Figure 6.

If a Class 2 ceramic capacitor that has been sitting on the

shelf for a period of time, is heated above its curie point,

1

(125ꢁC for 4 hours or 150ꢁC for ⁄

2

hour will suffice) the part will

de-age and return to its initial capacitance and dissi-pation

factor readings. Because the capacitance changes

rapidly, immediately after de-aging, the basic capacitance

measurements are normally referred to a time period

sometime after the de-aging process. Various manufacturers

use different time bases but the most popular one is one day

or twenty-four hours after “last heat.” Change in the aging

curve can be caused by the application of voltage and

other stresses. The possible changes in capacitance due to

de-aging by heating the unit explain why capacitance changes

are allowed after test, such as temperature cycling, moisture

resistance, etc., in MIL specs. The application of high voltages

such as dielectric withstanding voltages also tends to de-age

General Description

Effects of Mechanical Stress – High “K” dielectric ceramic

capacitors exhibit some low level piezoelectric reactions

under mechanical stress. As a general statement, the piezo-

electric output is higher, the higher the dielectric constant of

the ceramic. It is desirable to investigate this effect before

using high “K” dielectrics as coupling capacitors in extremely

low level applications.

Energy Stored – The energy which can be stored in a

capacitor is given by the formula:

E = ¹⁄ CV²

2

E = energy in joules (watts-sec)

V = applied voltage

C = capacitance in farads

Reliability – Historically ceramic capacitors have been one

of the most reliable types of capacitors in use today.

The approximate formula for the reliability of a ceramic

capacitor is:

Potential Change – A capacitor is a reactive component

which reacts against a change in potential across it. This is

shown by the equation for the linear charge of a capacitor:

where

I = Current

C = Capacitance

V_o= operating voltage

X,Y = see text

dV/dt = Slope of voltage transition across capacitor

Thus an infinite current would be required to instantly change

the potential across a capacitor. The amount of current a

capacitor can “sink” is determined by the above equation.

Historically for ceramic capacitors exponent X has been

considered as 3. The exponent Y for temperature effects

typically tends to run about 8.

Equivalent Circuit – A capacitor, as a practical device,

exhibits not only capacitance but also resistance and

inductance. A simplified schematic for the equivalent circuit

is:

A capacitor is a component which is capable of storing

electrical energy. It consists of two conductive plates (elec-

trodes) separated by insulating material which is called the

dielectric. A typical formula for determining capacitance is:

C = Capacitance

L = Inductance

R_p= Parallel Resistance

R_s= Series Resistance

K = dielectric constant (Vacuum = 1)

A = area in square inches

t = separation between the plates in inches

.224 = conversion constant

Reactance – Since the insulation resistance (R_p) is nor-

mally very high, the total impedance of a capacitor is:

(.0884 for metric system in cm)

Capacitance – The standard unit of capacitance is the

farad. A capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad when 1

coulomb charges it to 1 volt. One farad is a very large unit

and most capacitors have values in the micro (10^-6), nano

(10^-9) or pico (10^-12) farad level.

Z = R²+ (X_C- X_L)²

S

where

Z = Total Impedance

R = Series Resistance

X_C^s= Capacitive Reactance =

Dielectric Constant – In the formula for capacitance given

above the dielectric constant of a vacuum is arbitrarily chosen

as the number 1. Dielectric constants of other materials are

then compared to the dielectric constant of a vacuum.

2 π fC

X_L= Inductive Reactance = 2 π fL

The variation of a capacitor’s impedance with frequency

determines its effectiveness in many applications.

Dielectric Thickness – Capacitance is indirectly proportional

to the separation between electrodes. Lower voltage require-

ments mean thinner dielectrics and greater capacitance per

volume.

Phase Angle – Power Factor and Dissipation Factor are

often confused since they are both measures of the loss in

a capacitor under AC application and are often almost

identical in value. In a “perfect” capacitor the current in the

capacitor will lead the voltage by 90ꢁ.

Area – Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the

electrodes. Since the other variables in the equation are

usually set by the performance desired, area is the easiest

parameter to modify to obtain a specific capacitance within

a material group.

0.3 A/ns, and up to 10A/ns. At 0.3 A/ns, 100pH of parasitic

inductance can cause a voltage spike of 30mV. While this

does not sound very drastic, with the Vcc for

microprocessors decreasing at the current rate, this can be

a fairly large percentage.

Another important, often overlooked, reason for knowing the

parasitic inductance is the calculation of the resonant

frequency. This can be important for high frequency, by-

pass capacitors, as the resonant point will give the most

signal attenuation. The resonant frequency is calculated

from the simple equation:

f

V

IR_s

In practice the current leads the voltage by some other phase

angle due to the series resistance R_S. The complement of this

angle is called the loss angle and:

f^res=

Insulation Resistance – Insulation Resistance is the

resistance measured across the terminals of a capacitor and

consists principally of the parallel resistance R^Pshown in the

equivalent circuit. As capacitance values and hence the area

of dielectric increases, the I.R. decreases and hence the

product (C x IR or RC) is often specified in ohm farads or

more commonly megohm-microfarads. Leakage current is

determined by dividing the rated voltage by IR (Ohm’s Law).

Power Factor (P.F.) = Cos or Sine ␦

f

Dissipation Factor (D.F.) = tan ␦

for small values of ␦ the tan and sine are essentially equal

which has led to the common interchangeability of the two

terms in the industry.

Dielectric Strength – Dielectric Strength is an expression

of the ability of a material to withstand an electrical stress.

Although dielectric strength is ordinarily expressed in volts, it

is actually dependent on the thickness of the dielectric and

thus is also more generically a function of volts/mil.

Equivalent Series Resistance – The term E.S.R. or

Equivalent Series Resistance combines all losses both

series and parallel in a capacitor at a given frequency so

that the equivalent circuit is reduced to a simple R-C series

connection.

Dielectric Absorption – A capacitor does not discharge

instantaneously upon application of a short circuit, but

drains gradually after the capacitance proper has been

discharged. It is common practice to measure the dielectric

absorption by determining the “reappearing voltage” which

appears across a capacitor at some point in time after it has

been fully discharged under short circuit conditions.

E.S.R.

C

Dissipation Factor – The DF/PF of a capacitor tells what

percent of the apparent power input will turn to heat in the

capacitor.

Corona – Corona is the ionization of air or other vapors

which causes them to conduct current. It is especially

prevalent in high voltage units but can occur with low voltages

as well where high voltage gradients occur. The energy

discharged degrades the performance of the capacitor and

can in time cause catastrophic failures.

E.S.R.

X_C

Dissipation Factor =

= (2 π fC) (E.S.R.)

The watts loss are:

Watts loss = (2 π fCV²) (D.F.)

Very low values of dissipation factor are expressed as their

reciprocal for convenience. These are called the “Q” or

Quality factor of capacitors.

Parasitic Inductance – The parasitic inductance of

capacitors is becoming more and more important in the

decoupling of today’s high speed digital systems. The

relationship between the inductance and the ripple voltage

induced on the DC voltage line can be seen from the simple

inductance equation:

Component Pad Design

Component pads should be designed to achieve good

solder filets and minimize component movement during

reflow soldering. Pad designs are given below for the most

common sizes of multilayer ceramic capacitors for both

wave and reflow soldering. The basis of these designs is:

• Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible to

decrease this to as low as 85ꢀ of component width but it

is not advisable to go below this.

• Pad overlap 0.5mm beneath component.

• Pad extension 0.5mm beyond components for reflow and

1.0mm for wave soldering.

Component Spacing

Preheat & Soldering

For wave soldering components, must be spaced sufficiently

far apart to avoid bridging or shadowing (inability of solder

to penetrate properly into small spaces). This is less

important for reflow soldering but sufficient space must be

allowed to enable rework should it be required.

The rate of preheat should not exceed 4ꢁC/second to

prevent thermal shock. A better maximum figure is about

2ꢁC/second.

For capacitors size 1206 and below, with a maximum

thickness of 1.25mm, it is generally permissible to allow a

temperature differential from preheat to soldering of 150ꢁC.

In all other cases this differential should not exceed 100ꢁC.

For further specific application or process advice, please

consult AVX.

Cleaning

≥1.5mm (0.06)

≥1mm (0.04)

Care should be taken to ensure that the capacitors are

thoroughly cleaned of flux residues especially the space

beneath the capacitor. Such residues may otherwise

become conductive and effectively offer a low resistance

bypass to the capacitor.

≥1mm (0.04)

Ultrasonic cleaning is permissible, the recommended

conditions being 8 Watts/litre at 20-45 kHz, with a process

cycle of 2 minutes vapor rinse, 2 minutes immersion in the

ultrasonic solvent bath and finally 2 minutes vapor rinse.

Handling

APPLICATION NOTES

Chip multilayer ceramic capacitors should be handled with

care to avoid damage or contamination from perspiration

and skin oils. The use of tweezers or vacuum pick ups

is strongly recommended for individual components. Bulk

handling should ensure that abrasion and mechanical shock

are minimized. Taped and reeled components provides the

ideal medium for direct presentation to the placement

machine. Any mechanical shock should be minimized during

handling chip multilayer ceramic capacitors.

Storage

The components should be stored in their “as received

packaging” where possible. If the components are removed

from their original packaging then they should be stored in

an airtight container (e.g. a heat sealed plastic bag) with

desiccant (e.g. silica gel). Storage area temperature should

be kept between +5 degrees C and +30 degrees C with

humidity ꢂ 70ꢀ RH. Storage atmosphere must be free of

gas containing sulfur and chlorine. Avoid exposing the

product to saline moisture or to temperature changes that

might result in the formation of condensation. To assure

good solderability performance we recommend that the

product be used within 6 months from our shipping date,

but can be used for up to 12 months. Chip capacitors may

crack if exposed to hydrogen (H2) gas while sealed or if

coated with silicon, which generates hydrogen gas.

Preheat

It is important to avoid the possibility of thermal shock during

soldering and carefully controlled preheat is therefore

required. The rate of preheat should not exceed 4ꢁC/second

and a target figure 2ꢁC/second is recommended. Although

an 80ꢁC to 120ꢁC temperature differential is preferred, recent

developments allow a temperature differential between the

component surface and the soldering temper-ature of 150ꢁC

(Maximum) for capacitors of 1210 size and below with a

maximum thickness of 1.25mm. The user is cautioned that

the risk of thermal shock increases as chip size or

temperature differential increases.

Solderability

Terminations to be well soldered after immersion in a 60/40

tin/lead solder bath at 235 5ꢁC for 2 1 seconds.

Leaching

Terminations will resist leaching for at least the immersion

times and conditions shown below.

Soldering

Mildly activated rosin fluxes are preferred. The minimum

amount of solder to give a good joint should be used.

Excessive solder can lead to damage from the stresses

caused by the difference in coefficients of expansion

between solder, chip and substrate. AVX terminations are

suitable for all wave and reflow soldering systems. If hand

soldering cannot be avoided, the preferred technique is the

utilization of hot air soldering tools.

Lead-Free Wave Soldering

The recommended peak temperature for lead-free wave

soldering is 250ꢁC-260ꢁC for 3-5 seconds. The other

parameters of the profile remains the same as above.

Cooling

Natural cooling in air is preferred, as this minimizes stresses

within the soldered joint. When forced air cooling is used,

cooling rate should not exceed 4ꢁC/second. Quenching

is not recommended but if used, maximum temperature

differentials should be observed according to the preheat

conditions above.

The following should be noted by customers changing from

lead based systems to the new lead free pastes.

a) The visual standards used for evaluation of solder joints

will need to be modified as lead free joints are not as

bright as with tin-lead pastes and the fillet may not be as

large.

b) Lead-free solder pastes do not allow the same self

alignment as lead containing systems. Standard

mounting pads are acceptable, but machine set up may

need to be modified.

Cleaning

Flux residues may be hygroscopic or acidic and must be

removed. AVX MLC capacitors are acceptable for use with

all of the solvents described in the specifications MIL-STD-

202 and EIA-RS-198. Alcohol based solvents are acceptable

and properly controlled water cleaning systems are also

acceptable. Many other solvents have been proven successful,

and most solvents that are acceptable to other components

on circuit assemblies are equally acceptable for use with

ceramic capacitors.

General

Surface mounting chip multilayer ceramic capacitors

are designed for soldering to printed circuit boards or other

substrates. The construction of the components is such that

they will withstand the time/temperature profiles used in both

wave and reflow soldering methods.

Surface Mounting Guide

MLC Chip Capacitors

POST SOLDER HANDLING

Once SMP components are soldered to the board, any

bending or flexure of the PCB applies stresses to the

soldered joints of the components. For leaded devices, the

stresses are absorbed by the compliancy of the metal leads

and generally don’t result in problems unless the stress is

large enough to fracture the soldered connection.

Ceramic capacitors are more susceptible to such stress

because they don’t have compliant leads and are brittle in

nature. The most frequent failure mode is low DC resistance

or short circuit. The second failure mode is significant loss of

capacitance due to severing of contact between sets of the

internal electrodes.

Type A:

Angled crack between bottom of device to top of solder joint.

Cracks caused by mechanical flexure are very easily

identified and generally take one of the following two general

forms:

Mechanical cracks are often hidden underneath the

termination and are difficult to see externally. However, if one

end termination falls off during the removal process from

PCB, this is one indication that the cause of failure was

excessive mechanical stress due to board warping.

Type B:

Fracture from top of device to bottom of device.

MLC Chip Capacitors

COMMON CAUSES OF

REWORKING OF MLCs

MECHANICAL CRACKING

Thermal shock is common in MLCs that are manually

attached or reworked with a soldering iron. AVX strongly

recommends that any reworking of MLCs be done with hot

air reflow rather than soldering irons. It is practically

impossible to cause any thermal shock in ceramic

capacitors when using hot air reflow.

The most common source for mechanical stress is board

depanelization equipment, such as manual breakapart, v-

cutters and shear presses. Improperly aligned or dull cutters

may cause torqueing of the PCB resulting in flex stresses

being transmitted to components near the board edge.

Another common source of flexural stress is contact during

parametric testing when test points are probed. If the PCB

is allowed to flex during the test cycle, nearby ceramic

capacitors may be broken.

However direct contact by the soldering iron tip often

causes thermal cracks that may fail at a later date. If rework

by soldering iron is absolutely necessary, it is recommended

that the wattage of the iron be less than 30 watts and the

tip temperature be ꢂ300ºC. Rework should be performed by

applying the solder iron tip to the pad and not directly

contacting any part of the ceramic capacitor.

A third common source is board to board connections at

vertical connectors where cables or other PCBs are

connected to the PCB. If the board is not supported during

the plug/unplug cycle, it may flex and cause damage to

nearby components.

Special care should also be taken when handling large (ꢃ6"

on a side) PCBs since they more easily flex or warp than

smaller boards.

Solder Tip

Preferred Method - No Direct Part Contact

Poor Method - Direct Contact with Part

PCB BOARD DESIGN

To avoid many of the handling problems, AVX recommends that MLCs be located at least .2" away from nearest edge of board.

However when this is not possible, AVX recommends that the panel be routed along the cut line, adjacent to where the MLC is

located.
