MONOLITHIC CERAMIC
SMD CAPACITORS

TYPE CMC

NPO ceramics, Class I, offer one of the most stable capacitor dielectric available. Typical capacitance change with
life is less than 0.1% for NPOs, one-fifth that shown by most other dielectrics.
The NPO formulation usually has Qs (Quality Factor) in excess of 1000 and show little capacitance or Q changes
with frequency.
The inherent stability of these devices makes them ideally suited for use in precision applications such as oscillator,
filtering and timing circuits.

X7R ceramics, Mid-K, Class II, are the most temperature-stable ceramics in their class. Capacitance for X7R
varies under the influence of electrical operating conditions such as voltage and frequency. It also varies with time,
approximately 2.5% C per decade hour, representing about 12.5% change in ten years.
These devices are suited for bypass and de-coupling applications, filtering, frequency discrimination, DC blocking,
and voltage suppression.

TYPE CMC

Z5U ceramics, High-K, Class III, general purpose ceramics. They provide the highest capacitance possible in a
given size. They show wide variation in capacitance under influence of environmental and electrical operating
condition. Their aging rate is approximately 5% per decade hour or 25% drop in ten years.
Despite their capacitance instability, Z5U are very popular because of low ESR, low ESL, and excellent frequency
response.
Typical applications are as by-pass and decoupling with best performance being obtained at or near room temperature and low DC bias.
