Technical Summary T W Technical Information Novacap provides application notes throughout this catalog as a guide to chip selection and attachment methods. Refer to the Novacap Technical Brochure found at www.novacap. com for more details. This technical information includes the nature of capacitance, dielectric properties, electrical properties, classes of dielectrics, ferroelectric behavior, test standards, and high reliability test plans. Please do not hesitate to contact the sales office for any product or technical assistance. Capacitor Size Size availability is based primarily on capacitance values and rating. Smaller units are generally less expensive. Because mass affects the thermal shock susceptibility of chip capacitors, size selection should consider the soldering method used to attach the chip to the board. Sizes 1812 and smaller can be wave, vapor phase, or reflow soldered. Larger units require reflow soldering. Chip Selection Multilayer capacitors (MLC) are categorized by dielectric performance with temperature. The Temperature Coefficient of Capacitance describes the variance of capacitance value with temperature. The choice of components is therefore largely determined by the temperature stability required of the device and the size necessary for the desired capacitance value and rating. Packaging Units are available reeled, in waffle pack, or bulk packaged. Bar coded labels are standard for reeled and bulk packaging. Primary Types CG/NP: Ultra stable Class I dielectric, with negligible dependence of capacitance on temperature,, frequency, and time. Used in circuitry requiring very stable performance. X7R: Stable Class II dielectric, with predictable change in properties across a temperature range of -55 C to +125 C. Used as blocking, decoupling, bypassing, and frequency discriminating elements. This dielectric is ferroelectric and provides higher capacitance than Class I materials. BX: The military specification for ceramic chip capacitors (MIL- PRF-55681) defines a mid-k stable dielectric designated as BX. The BX specification has temperature limits in addition to temperature limits of capacitance. The BX dielectric is limited to ±15% maximum change in capacitance between 25 C and -55 C or +125 C and also has a restriction of +15% / -25% maximum change in capacitance between 25 C and -55 C or +125 C at rated. Z5U/Y5V: General purpose Class III dielectrics with higher dielectric constant and greater variation of properties over temperature and. Very high capacitance per volume is attainable for general purpose applications where stability over a wide temperature range is not critical.
