MLCCs thwart extreme heat

A family of flexible termination MLCCs now includes COG and Ultra-Stable X8R dielectrics. The COG-type capacitors offer performance and capacitance stability up to 125°C. For even high-temperature applications, the Ultra-Stable X8R capacitors mitigate flex cracks that often develop under excessive board flex conditions and extreme environments up to 150°C.

Ultra-Stable X8R dielectric offers the same temperature capability as conventional X8R, without the capacitance loss due to applied dc voltage, and is a suitable replacement for higher capacitance and larger footprint devices that fail to offer stability.
