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
