What MLCCs suit for different applications?

We discuss details on power supply, EV, IoT, Industrial Automation and automotive applications.

1.Power Supply Applications

In general power supplies, MLCCs are typically used at the input to decouple and filter electromagnetic interference (EMI). They should have low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low equivalent series inductance (ESL). At the output, MLCCs help reduce ripple and manage voltage overshoot and undershoot resulting from high slew rate loading transients. Additionally, the voltage rating of the MLCC should exceed 100V. X5R or X7R dielectrics are generally preferred for balance between performance and stability.and high reliability rating required, especially in critical power circuits.

HONGDA Capacitors, are strong in X7R, X5R dielectric MLCC, especially the high capacitance, high voltage series. And we keep most common parts in stock, fast delivery, 2weeks normally.

2.Electric Vehicles (EV)

Below parameters are quite important for Electric vehicles usage.

● Capacitance Value: Larger capacitance values necessary for energy storage and filtering in motor controllers.

● High Voltage Rating: Supports high voltages (often 100V or above) due to electric drivetrain and battery systems.

● Extended Temperature Range: Rated for high temperatures (up to 125°C) to withstand harsh EV conditions.

● Low ESR/ESL: Crucial for handling pulsed currents and ensuring efficient power delivery.

● Mechanical Stability: Must withstand vibration and shock typical in EV environments.

3.Internet of Things (IoT)

Due to the limited space, IoT has strict request for size. 0201, 0402, 0603 is priority for this application.

The less that 0603 inches case size MLCC is the fastest growing segment with a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030. The rapid growth can be attributed to several factors including advancements in miniaturization and microelectronics, increasing demand for smaller and more compact components, rise in demand for portable & wearable electronics, and the growth in the adoption of IoT devices & smart technologies. The smaller MLCCs allow for the design of smaller and lighter electronic devices without compromising performance, making them ideal for various applications in the electronics industry.
