Top Searches for this datasheetCapacitance Selection Guide Cross Reference Silicon Chip Capacitors CAPACITANCE FREQUENCY SELECTION GUIDE CROSS REFERENCE Vishay's series high-precision, silicon capacitors features unprecedented capacitance frequency stability. That capacitance curve relative frequency very flat. This feature enhances high-frequency applications because frequency drift circuit does cause significant change capacitance over wide range around working frequency. result, capacitors significantly more stable than traditional capacitors. Historically, precision capacitors have been either single-layer, low-temperature co-fired ceramic chip (LTCC) capacitors single-layer, thin film (TF) dielectric capacitors. Prior introduction Vishay capacitors, these were recognized most stable types chip capacitors high frequencies with highest self-resonant frequency (SRF). Frequency performance summarized data points known S-parameters, which indicate transmission loss characteristics. S-parameters well-known industry, simulation systems have used these parameters characterize capacitor performance over wide range frequencies. Figure shows much 10-pF capacitor representing Vishay's series, well LTCC technologies, will change frequencies GHz. representative curve each capacitor approaches vertical capacitor approaches SRF. SRF, capacitance immediately drops zero and, because longer functioning capacitor, device typically effective above SRF. fact, generally recommended that capacitors used even below their frequency range where capacitance changes rapidly with small change frequency, such above examples shown Figure Therefore, rule thumb traditional capacitors limit their operation less than one-third their CAPACITANCE FREQUENCY seen Figure that, when these LTCC capacitors used above GHz, small drift frequency will cause large change capacitance. typical application, such impedance matching between power amplifier (PA) antenna mobile phone, this could very important. large change capacitance will cause mismatch impedance, resulting much signal output being reflected back into phone instead being transmitted antenna. phone will then attempt boost output signal, draining battery while trying increase transmitted signal. capacitance stability HPC0402 silicon capacitor shown Figure which demonstrates much better frequency stability than other technologies, eliminates problem. Figure illustrates data with which capacitor selected specific operating frequency.

Capacitors supplied with capacitance value measured MHz. user consults characterization data finds that value demands LTCC capacitor. drawback working with these technologies two-fold. capacitor working region where LTCC capacitance changes quickly with small change frequency, they each exhibit curves which diverge with wider tolerance drift frequency increases. result, user must specify order tighter tolerance remain within allowable error envelope operating frequency. comparison, silicon capacitors provide much more uniform capacitance curve over wide frequency range. contrast capacitance increase LTCC devices with rise frequency, silicon www.vishay.com CAPACITANCE (pF) Thin Film Technology LTCC Technology Vishay-HPC 1000 FREQUENCY (MHz) MEASURED ANGILENT 4287 16197 2000 3000 Document Number: 10134 Revision: 12-Oct-04 technical questions, contact: siliconRFcap@vishay.com Capacitance Selection Guide Cross Reference Silicon Chip Capacitors When designer using directly, value tolerance required desired operating frequency conversion will yield effective capacitance part number.
