TDK: MLCC: Industry’s first ‘CGAE’ series developed: Mass production for automotive in January 2020
January 28, 2020
TDK: Multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC)
TDK has developed the “CGAE” series as a new series of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC).
Announced that mass production began in January 2020 in the industry’s first vertically inverted horizontal / horizontal 0510 size for vehicles.
This product: “CGAE” series
Key features and benefits:
0510 / Small size, high capacitance (1μF)
Low ESL can contribute to the reduction of the number of staff
High reliability according to AEC-Q200
A structure in which the electrode direction is reversed 90 degrees vertically and horizontally compared to a normal type MLCC.
ESL (equivalent series inductance) and impedance are reduced by making the current route thick and short.
Conventional MLCC:
Already inverted MLCCs have been widely adopted for general use.
This MLCC:
For the first time, it has realized a large capacity of 0510 size (0.5 mm × 1.0 mm) / 1 μF, conforming to the automotive / AEC-Q200.
Fields of use:
ADAS: ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is increasingly important in terms of vehicle safety,
Automated driving: With the advancement of advanced functions with an eye to automatic driving,
Its control: need the same performance as PC or smartphone,
Noise countermeasures:
In particular, as ICs become more sophisticated, more and more decoupling MLCCs tend to be used as noise countermeasures.
Space saving of board:
In addition, as the demand for board space saving increases, more effective noise suppression products are required.
This product is effective for noise suppression and decoupling of automotive products.
