在材料技術的進步使游戲變電容性能

　　介紹

　　雖然電解電容器一直是解耦應用電容大于100μF的首選解決方案是必需的，這些設備的固有可靠性和使用壽命的問題，往往是失敗的第一部分。在多層陶瓷電容（MLCC）技術的進展，現在設計人員提供一個高容量的替代傳統的電解電容器。新的高附加值的MLCC提供更低的等效串聯電阻（ESR）的優點和電感（ESL）比電解，并顯示平均故障時間（MTTF）10000到1000000年。高價值的MLCC的應用包括汽車電子、醫療電子和工業設備。

　　本文介紹了太陽誘電的先進MLCC產品在材料科學。它還介紹了比較性能和價格數據，以顯示這些陶瓷電容器如何負擔顯著的聚合物電容器的好處。

　　High capacitance MLCCS vs. polymer capacitors

　　High-capacitance MLCCs provide significant improvements over equivalent polymer capacitors. Comparisons of performance and price demonstrate the potential for MLCCs to displace polymer capacitors in designs that require high-capacitance values and/or other system-level improvements.

　　Performance comparisons

　　Aside from the mechanical advantages that the solid-state nature of the MLCC topology provides in comparison to electrolytic devices， a number of significant electrical performance improvements are also evident.

　　Lower ESR and ESL

　　Figure 1 shows the lower equivalent series resistance （ESR） and equivalent series inductance （ESL） of 100 μF， 220 μF and 330 μF MLCCs compared with a 330 μF polymer capacitor. In addition to the reduced system losses from lower ESR and ESL values， the case size and printed circuit board footprint of the MLCCs are dramatically smaller as well.
