MURATA INTRODUCES WORLD’S SMALLEST HIGH-Q 100V MLCC

Murata has expanded its line-up of high-Q rated monolithic ceramic chip capacitors (MLCC). Designed for high-frequency module applications such as those used in cellular communication infrastructure, the GJM022 series expands the world’s smallest high-Q capacitor with a voltage rating of 100 V.

In order to facilitate high-speed 5G communication, designers must incorporate numerous high-frequency outputs along with the necessary power amplifiers. This increased component count has emphasized the need for the modularization of wireless communication circuits.

Murata has utilized state-of-the-art thin-layer forming and high-precision laminating technologies to create an advanced and miniaturized capacitor that does not compromise on performance – exhibiting the exceptional high-Q and low-loss performance needed by the latest applications.

With a size of 0.4 mm × 0.2 mm LW, the new GJM022 enables electronic engineers to overcome packaging limitations while maintaining optimal performance. The high temperature guarantee further helps with this initiative, by providing designs with greater freedom over positioning. This allows for reliable long-term operation, even in close vicinity to hot components that radiate heat, such as power semiconductors.
