Matsushita Offers New ECY Capacitors

Matsushita Electronic Components Co. Ltd. (Japan) introduced the new ECY MLCCs, which are optimized for stabilizing the power supply and rejecting noise in high-speed microprocessors. The new capacitors exhibit low equivalent series inductance and are employed as decoupling capacitors for high-speed microprocessors.

The capacitors come in 1220 and 1632 case sizes, with nominal capacitance values of 10nF, 0.1µF and 1µF, and ±10 percent tolerance. The devices are rated at voltages from 10Vdc to 50Vdc. Based on a 25 degrees C reference, these X5R devices exhibit a ±15 percent capacitance change over the operating temperature range spanning -55 to +85 degrees C.
