Low ESR Capacitor Assemblies for Switch Mode Supplies

RFMW announces design and sales support for Knowles – Novacap SV Series capacitor assemblies. SV series capacitors offer high capacitance-to-volume ratio, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low equivalent series inductance (ESL) while reducing overall circuit board footprint. Vertical stacking of ceramic capacitors provides far superior performance than either aluminum or tantalum electrolytic capacitors. Up to ten, same size chips, may be stacked with various lead configurations to safeguard against thermal and mechanical stresses as with the SV2220BB476M101LNW-10R, 47uF 100V (VDCW) assembly. 100% tested for dielectric withstanding voltage, insulation resistance, capacitance, and dissipation factor, the capacitors are suited for input and output stages of switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC converters.
