XHP Series MLCCs: Designed for Next-Gen Wireless Communication
As the telecommunications industry advances toward 5G and IoT, the need for highly reliable and stable electronic components has never been greater. The XHP Series MLCCs from KYOCERA AVX Electronics are specifically designed to address this need, offering unparalleled performance in RF circuits that require low-loss signal transmission.
High Precision and Stability with C0G (NP0) Dielectric
One of the standout features of the XHP Series MLCCs is the use of a C0G (NP0) dielectric material, known for its high stability. This Class I ceramic dielectric ensures a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of 0±30ppm/°C, minimizing performance variations across a wide temperature range. Additionally, the capacitors exhibit virtually no voltage coefficient, ensuring consistent performance in demanding RF applications.
Ultra-Low ESR and High Power Handling
The XHP Series MLCCs are designed with ultra-low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high power handling capabilities, making them ideal for high-frequency applications. These capacitors deliver high Q factors and excellent self-resonant frequencies (SRF), essential for maintaining optimal performance in RF filter networks, impedance matching, and bypass circuits.
Compact Sizes with Wide Voltage and Capacitance Range
The XHP Series MLCCs are available in four compact EIA chip sizes (0201, 0402, 0603, and 0805), supporting voltage ratings from 25V to 250V and capacitance values from 0.1pF to 100pF. They offer tight tolerances down to ±0.05pF and operate within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. These capacitors are ideal for use in filter and matching networks, high-Q frequency sources, and circuits in cellular base stations, Wi-Fi networks, and satellite communications.
Advanced BME Technology for Miniaturization
To accommodate the trend toward smaller, more efficient devices, the XHP Series MLCCs utilize advanced base metal electrode (BME) technology. The electrodes are crafted from copper and plated with a tin/nickel alloy, providing enhanced durability and conductivity. This design enables high capacitance values in compact chip sizes, ranging from 0201 to 0805, without sacrificing performance.
Wide Range of Applications
The XHP Series MLCCs are available with capacitance ratings from 0.1pF to 100pF and voltage ratings from 25V to 250V. With tolerances as tight as ±0.05pF, these capacitors offer precise performance in critical RF applications. The operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +125°C, making them suitable for various environmental conditions.
RoHS Compliance and Long-Term Reliability
KYOCERA AVX Electronics ensures that the XHP Series MLCCs meet RoHS compliance standards. These capacitors are designed to resist thermal shock and are free from aging and piezoelectric effects, ensuring long-term reliability. Their robust design makes them an excellent choice for high-frequency, high-power applications.
Streamlined Manufacturing with Tape and Reel Packaging
The XHP Series MLCCs are available in tape and reel packaging, making them compatible with automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes. This feature streamlines production and reduces the time required to integrate these capacitors into a wide range of applications.
