Polypropylene capacitors can withstand high voltages, and components with operating voltage ratings of 1 kV, 2kV, 3kVand above are commonly available. Furthermore, snubber applications demand components with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL). Polypropylene capacitors have low ESR and ESL.
Unlike varistors or TVS diodes, there is no clamping voltage or maximum peak voltage defined for the ESD-safe MLCC. Although the use of ESD-safe protection capacitors can be an efective practice, engineers often overestimate the capacitor’s performance by ignoring its inherent degradation with applied voltage.
As can be seen, a common 25 V 0805 chip capacitor in this series can withstand 26 kV of ESD. To understand the protection principle behind using these capacitors, consider the typical ESD test circuit shown in figure 2 for the human body model. Rc, Cd, and Rd are specified by the test standard.
Although the use of ESD-safe protection capacitors can be an efective practice, engineers often overestimate the capacitor’s performance by ignoring its inherent degradation with applied voltage. Generally speaking, the amount of capacitance drop for NPO dielectrics is negligible.
