SMPS Stacked MLC Capacitors
(SM9 Style) Technical Information on SMPS Capacitors
AVX is the original inventor of large capacitance value, stacked MLCC capacitors con-
structed with DIP leads. Similar to SM-product, the SM9-sytle, encapsulated Switch
Mode Power Supply (SMPS) capacitors offer high CV product and extremely low ESR
and ESL. SM9-style capacitors offer additional mechanical and thermal protection and
are recommended for applications where they will undergo extreme high frequency
vibration or mechanical shock. Encapsulated version allows for “strapping” the parts
or bonding to the board on the perimeter of the plastic case and thus preventing oscil-
lation and lead breakage.
In addition to traditionally offered COG (Class I) and X7R (Class II) type dielectrics, AVX
introduces another class I, temperature compensated N1500 dielectric characterized
with very low dissipation factor. Thanks to considerably higher relative dielectric
constant of N1500 dielectric, the CV product is more than doubled in comparison to
ultra-stable COG dielectric, resulting in a significant reduction in the size of capacitor
and a significant improvement of volumetric efficiency.
The typical applications for different type dielectrics are:
COG: High frequency resonant capacitors, avionic AC line filters (400Hz to
800Hz), snubbers, timing circuits, high current repetitive discharge
N1500: Avionic AC line filters (400Hz to 800Hz), snubbers, high current repetitive
discharge, capacitive temperature compensation
X7R:
General filtering, input and output filters in DC/DC converters, bulk filters,
DC link capacitors, motor drive filters, high current non-repetitive discharge
