time and voltage and boasts a minimal change in capacitance
with reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is
limited to 15% from -55C to +125C.
Available in a variety of case sizes and industry leading CV
values (capacitance/voltage), these devices exhibit low leakage
current and low ESR at high frequencies. Conventional uses
include both snubbers and filters in applications such as
switching power supplies and lighting ballasts. Their exceptional
performance at high frequencies has made high voltage MLCC's
the preferred dielectric choice of design engineers worldwide.
In addition to their use in power supplies, these capacitors
are widely used in industries related to automotive (hybrid),
telecommunications, medical, military, aerospace, semiconductors
and test/diagnostic equipment.
