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 .

MLCC Applications for DC-DC Converter Modules

MLCC Applications for Ballast Circuits

High voltage MLCCs are mainly used to DC-DC converter modules for industrial applications which have high input

voltage of typical 48V. These are used as functions of high frequency noise filtering (decoupling) of power line and

snubber capacitor to protect switching device from unsafe transients by inductance of transformer or connection line

due to switching operation. For these applications, MLCCs have merits for high allowable ripple current and high

reliability.

Figure 2 shows isolated DC-DC converter circuit diagram and MLCC applications such as decoupling and snubber.

Input voltage is 36~75VDC(typical 48VDC) for general industrial applications such as base station, server and network

equipments. Decoupling MLCCs are applied to input and output (based on viewpoint of switch or transformer)

power line to reduce ripple voltage, and MLCCs for snubber application used to absorb surge energy. SAMWHA

MLCCs are recommended for each application as shown in Table 1.

High voltage MLCCs are suitable for the ballast circuit as a function of resonant capacitor as presented in Figure 3.

MLCCs with high voltage rating from 1kV to 3kV (available up to 7.2kV) are mainly used for these application.

Caution(Rating)

1. Operating Voltage

When DC-rated capacitors are to be used in AC or ripple current circuits, be sure to maintain the Vp-p Value of the

applied voltage or the Vo-p which contains DC bias within the rated voltage range.

When the voltage is applied to the circuit, starting or stopping may generate irregular voltage for a transit period

because of resonance or switching. Be sure to use a capacitor with a rated voltage range that includes these

irregular voltages.

2. Test condition for AC withstanding Voltage

(1) Test Equipment

Tests for AC withstanding voltage should be made with equipment capable of creating a wave similar to a 50/60

Hz sine wave. If the distorted sine wave or overload exceeding the specified voltage value is applied, a defect

may be caused.

(2) Voltage applied method

The capacitor's leads or terminals should be firmly connected to the output of the withstanding voltage test

equipment, and then the voltage should be raised from near zero to the test voltage. If the test voltage is applied

directly to the capacitor without raising it from near zero,it should be applied with the

*zero cross. At the end of the test time, the test voltage should be reduced to near

zero, and then the capacitor's leads or terminals should be taken off the output of the

withstanding voltage test equipment. If the test voltage is applied directly to the

capacitor without raising it from near zero, surge voltage may occur and cause a

defect. *ZERO CROSS is the point where voltage sine wave

(3) Dielectric strength testing method

In case of dielectric strength test, the capacitor’s is applied between the terminations for 1 to 5 sec., provided the

charge/discharge current is less than 50mA.

3. Soldering

If a chip component is heated or cooled abruptly during soldering, it may crack due to the thermal shock. To

prevent this, follow our recommendations below for adequate soldering conditions. Carefully perform preheating

so that temperature difference (ΔT) between the

solder and component surface is in the following

range. The smaller the temperatures difference (Δ

T) between the solder and component surface is,

the smaller the influence on the chip is.

Caution

▶ Storage Condition

When solderability is considered, capacitor are recommended to be used in 12 months.

(1) Temperature: 25

℃

± 10

℃

(2) Relative Humidity: Below 70% RH

▶ The Regulation of Environmental Pollution Materials

Never use materials mentioned below in MLCC products regulated this document.

Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr+6, PBB(Polybrominated biphenyl), PBDE(Polybrominated diphenyl ethers), asbestos

▶ Mounting Position

Choose a mounting position that minimizes the stress

imposed on the chip during flexing or bending of the

board.

▶ Reflow Soldering

1. The sudden temperature change easily causes

mechanical damages to ceramic components.

Therefore, the preheating procedures should be

required for the soldering of ceramic components.

2. Please refer to the recommended soldering profiles as

shown in figures, and keep the temperature

difference(△T) within the range recommended in

Table 1.

Automotive Applications

▶ 'Aging'/'De-aging' behavior of high dielectric constant type MLCCs

(Typically represented by X7R temperature characteristic of which main composition is BaTiO3)

'Aging' / 'De-aging' Behavior of high dielectric MLCCs Please note that high dielectric type dielectric ceramic

capacitors have a "normal" 'aging' behavior / characteristic, that is; their capacitance value decreases with time

from its value when it was first manufactured. From that date, the capacitance value begins to decrease at a

logarithmic rate defined by:

Ct= C48(1 - k log10 t)

The capacitance value can be restored (also known as 'de-aged') by exposing the component to elevated

temperatures approaching its curie temperature (approximately 120℃). This 'de-aging' can occur during the

component's solder-assembly onto the PCB, during life or temperature cycle testing, or by baking at 150℃

for about 1 hour.

Ct: Capacitance value, t hours after the start of 'aging'

C48: Capacitance value, 48 hours after its manufacture

k : Aging constant (capacitance decrease per decade-hour)

t : time, in hours, from the start of 'aging'
