Low Inductance Capacitors (RoHS)
0612/0508/0306/0204 LICC (Low Inductance Chip Capacitors)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The key physical characteristic determining equivalent
series inductance (ESL) of a capacitor is the size of the
current loop it creates. The smaller the current loop, the
lower the ESL.
A standard surface mount MLCC is rectangular in shape
with electrical terminations on its shorter sides. A Low
Inductance Chip Capacitor (LICC) sometimes referred to
as Reverse Geometry Capacitor (RGC) has its
terminations on the longer sides of its rectangular shape.
The image on the right shows the termination differences
between an MLCC and an LICC.
When the distance between terminations is reduced, the
size of the current loop is reduced. Since the size of the
current loop is the primary driver of inductance, an 0306
with a smaller current loop has significantly lower ESL
then an 0603. The reduction in ESL varies by EIA size,
however, ESL is typically reduced 60% or more with an
LICC versus a standard MLCC.
AVX LICC products are available with a lead-free finish of
plated Nickel/Tin.
