Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitors
Introduction
SAMWHA's series of multilayer ceramic(MLC) chip capacitors is designed to meet a wide variety of need.
Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors are available in both class I and class II formulations. Temperature
compensation formulations are class I and temperature stable and general application formulations are
classified at class II. The class I multilayer ceramic capacitors are COG with negligible dependence of
electrical properties on temperature, voltage, frequency. The most of commonly used class II dielectric are
X7R, X5R and Y5V. The X7R provides intermediate capacitance values which vary
±15%
over the
temperature range of -55℃ to 125℃. The X5R provides intermediate capacitance values which vary
±15%
over the temperature range of -55℃ to 85℃. The Y5V provides the highest capacitance value which vary
from 22% to -82% over the temperature range of -30℃ to 85℃. All class II capacitors vary in capacitance
value under the influence of temperature, operating voltage and frequency. We offer a complete line of
products for both class I and II .

Capacitance Code(Pico Farads)
The nominal capacitance value in pF is expressed by three digit numbers.
The first two digits represents significant figures and the last digit denotes the number of zero
Ex.) 104 = 100000pF
R denotes decimal
8R2 = 8.2pF

Application
The Hi-K(Y5V) dielectrics deliver high capacitance density and are ideally suited for applications where space is at a
premium, or as replacement for tantalum capacitors. Typically applications include use as by-pass or decoupling elements.
Best performance is obtained at or near room temperature, with low DC bias.
