TDK has expanded its 100V automotive multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to 2.2μF in 2012 size and 4.7μF in the 3216 size
These are the industry’s highest capacitance for 100V MLCC devices for 48V electrical architectures. The 2.2μF 2012 size MLCC measures (3.2 x 1.6 x 1.6 mm while 4.7μF 3216 MLCC measures 2.0 x 1.25 x 1.25mm.
Mass production of the product series began this month, March 2024.
Many automotive manufacturers are adopting a 48V electrical architecture for several reasons, including automotive fuel efficiency (power efficiency). This has increased the demand for miniaturized high-capacitance 100V products, which are useful for smoothing and decoupling in power lines to suppress and minimize voltage fluctuations of pulsating voltage in rectified current by charging and discharging high capacitance capacitors.
The higher MLCC capacitance of 2.2μF in 2012 size and 4.7μF in 3216 size enables space-saving designs and a reduction in number of components with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.
