Compact, High-Capacitance MLCCs for IT and Industrial Applications
Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd has introduced two new multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), the GRM188C80E107M and GRM188R60E107M. These capacitors are notable for offering a capacitance of 100μF in a compact 0603-inch (1608mm) size package. These MLCCs are designed for use in servers, data centers, and various IT applications where there is a growing demand for miniaturization. They serve key functions such as temporarily storing and discharging electricity, dampening noise in signals, extracting signals at specific frequencies, and blocking direct current while allowing the flow of alternating current. The GRM188C80E107M operates from -55°C to 105°C, and the GRM188R60E107M operates from -55°C to 85°C.
The GRM188 series is characterized by its compact packaging, 2.5V rating, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and low impedance. It is suitable for decoupling and smoothing circuits in high-demand computing and network environments. The capacitors are available in X6S and X5R temperature classes, making them versatile for different operational needs. In the context of servers and data centers, these MLCCs support the ongoing trend towards miniaturization and efficiency, contributing to reduced material consumption and enhanced performance. The compact size allows designers to reduce the number of capacitors required, thus decreasing the circuit substrate area and supporting system miniaturization.
