Overview

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has expanded its lineup of 1206-size (3.2mm × 1.6mm) and 1210-size (3.2mm × 2.5mm) monolithic ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) (GRM series) in the range exceeding 100µF with the addition of new products rated at 150µF, 220µF, and 330µF.

Background



Features Compared with the polymer capacitors typically used in the range above 100µF, Murata MLCCs deliver better ESR characteristics and compactness. The lower ESR levels mean that it is possible to replace polymer capacitors with MLCCs with lower capacitance.

In addition, in circuits where MLCCs are connected in parallel to attain the required capacitance, higher-capacitance MLCCs can be used to reduce the overall number of components.
