Taiyo Yuden has expanded its high-capacitance MK series to include a new 100uF multilayer chip capacitor with a X5R temperature coefficient and in a 2220 size.

Designed for CPUs operating at 1GHz and above, the device is ideal for backup and load control fluctuation.

With better ESR and ESL characteristics than other capacitor materials, these high-reliability and polarity-free multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) provide designers with new avenues for miniaturisation in PCs, portable and mobile communications equipment.

Taiyo Yuden's multilayer technology combines small component size with high capacitance values.

Designed with internal nickel electrodes, the devices feature a low ESR (equivalent series resistance), and thereby excellent noise absorption characteristics.

In addition, these chip components are also ideal replacements for electrolytic capacitors as they have higher permissible ripple current values, relatively smaller case sizes and higher insulation resistance and breakdown voltages.
