LCCI Series of Ultraminiature Multilayer Ceramic Chip Inductors for High-Frequency RF Applications

31 March 2021 - 0 Comments

AVX Corporation has introduced the new LCCI Series of ultraminiature multilayer ceramic chip inductors with outstanding reliability and performance from 100MHz to 2.4GHz in three standard EIA chip sizes (0201, 0402, and 0603). These new devices have tight-tolerance physical dimensions hence they are compatible with high-density PCBs and reflow soldering in space- and weight-constrained applications within the telecommunications and networking markets, as well as with lead-free and RoHS directives.

The new LCCI Series ultraminiature multilayer ceramic chip inductors exhibit high Q, high signal efficiencies, low DC resistance (DCR), tight inductance tolerances down to ±0.1nH, and guaranteed self-resonant frequencies (SRF) up to 10GHz. They are ideal for applications such as mobile communications and computer networking systems, wireless large-area networks (WLAN), radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, personal handheld systems (PHS) ranging from smartphones and tablets to media players and gaming devices, and EMI countermeasures in high-frequency circuits.

Operating at a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the LCCI Series are available in three standard inductance values (3.9nH, 39nH, and 390nH) and seven standard inductance tolerances (2%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 0.1nH, 0.2nH, 0.3nH).

Inductance values for 0201 parts extend from 0.3nH to 39nH with inductance tolerances ranging from ±0.1nH to ±5% and minimum SRF values spanning 1,500MHz to 10,000MHz. Inductance values for 0402 parts extend from 0.3nH to 150nH with inductance tolerances ranging from ±0.1nH to ±5% and minimum SRF values spanning 550MHz to 10,000MHz. Inductance values for 0603 parts extend from 1.0nH to 470nH with inductance tolerances ranging from ±0.3nH to ±5% and minimum SRF values spanning 300MHz to 10,000MHz.
