IDC Low Inductance Capacitors (RoHS) IDC (InterDigitated Capacitors) 0306/0612/0508 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Inter-Digitated Capacitors (IDCs) are used for both semiconductor package and board level decoupling. The equivalent series inductance (ESL) of a single capacitor or an array of capacitors in parallel determines the response time of a Power Delivery Network (PDN). The lower the ESL of a PDN, the faster the response time. A 0612 designer can use many standard MLCCs in parallel to reduce ESL or a low ESL Inter- + – + – Digitated Capacitor (IDC) device. These IDC devices are available in versions with a maximum height of 0.95mm or 0.55mm. IDCs are typically used on packages of semiconductor products with power levels of 15 watts or greater. Inter-Digitated Capacitors are used on CPU, GPU, ASIC, and ASSP devices produced on 0.13μ, 90nm, 65nm, and 45nm processes. IDC devices 0508 are used on both ceramic and organic package substrates. These low ESL surface mount capacitors can be placed on the bottom side or the top side of a package – + – + substrate. The low profile 0.55mm maximum height IDCs can easily be used on the bottom side of BGA packages or on the die side of packages under a heat spreader. IDCs are used for board level decoupling of systems with speeds of 300MHz or greater. Low ESL IDCs free up valuable board space by reducing the number of 0306 capacitors required versus standard MLCCs. There are additional benefits to reducing the number of capacitors beyond saving board space including higher reliability from a reduction in the number of components and lower placement costs TYPICAL IMPEDANCE based on the need for fewer capacitors. The Inter-Digitated Capacitor (IDC) technology was developed by AVX. This is the 10 second family of Low Inductance MLCC products created by AVX. IDCs are a cost ms) MLCC_1206 effective alternative to AVX’s first generation low ESL family for high-reliability h 1 O applications known as LICA (Low Inductance Chip Array). e ( LICC_0612 AVX IDC products are available with a lead-free finish of plated Nickel/Tin. nc 0.1 da IDC_0612 e p m 0.01 I 0.001 1 10 100 1000 Frequency (MHz) HOW TO ORDER W 3 L 1 6 D 225 M A T 3 A Style IDC Case Low Number of Voltage Dielectric Capacitance Capacitance Failure Termination Packaging Thickness Size Inductance Terminals 4 = 4V C = X7R Code (In pF) Tolerance Rate T =Plated Ni Available Max.
