TDK announced today that it has developed the industry’s first multilayer ceramic chip capacitor with a new internal structure that allows ESR values to be set to any value within a specified range, stabilizes ESR values], and can control circuit impedance (alternating current resistance). Although the sizes are the same as earlier products of the same type, resistance has been improved to 1200 m-Omega for the 1608 product and 500 m-Omega for the 2012 product and the ESR values can be set to any value within a specified range.
Mass production of the TDK capacitor, available in 1608 and 2012 configurations, began in February.
