As Ken Patterson mentioned below, AVX does make these" ask AVX for catalog "AVX Low Inductance Chip Capacitors Specially Designed MLC Chips for Low Inductance" The aspect ratio of these capacitors yields only a modest improvement in a lower ESR. On high frequency mircrostrip circuits, an array of spanning values does well to provide a well bypassed plane. Since the SRF of each capacitor varies with Frequency, to bypass 1 Ghz down to 1 Mhz, you'll need to include an array of values, like 47 Pf, 470 Pf, .001 UF, .01 UF, .1UF. Not all caps of the same exact value are created equal either. A vector impedance meter or network analyser is very useful to compare different vendors parts Good Luck Steve Salkow -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Lee Ritchey Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 10:33 AM To: David Greig; weirsp@xxxxxxxxxx; Farah.Haddadin@xxxxxxxxx; Ken Patterson; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: 0306 Capacitors IDS capacitors work well on IC packages because it is possible to achieve very low mounting inductance.
