Tiny 1206 and 1210 size high-capacity monolithic ceramic capacitors

Murata’s GRM series of 1206 and 1210 size monolithic ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are now available from TTI Europe. As the functionality of electronic devices becomes more advanced and the available enclosure space becomes even more constrained, there is a growing need for capacitors that are both miniature and have a high capacity. Traditionally, polymer capacitors have been used above 100µF since such high capacitance values have not been available. MLCCs deliver much better ESR characteristics than polymer capacitors and are more compact, so now that higher values are available MLCCs can aid to overall space reduction.
