Customer ServiceAnswer to FAQ on measurement of TDK''s Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCCs). The voltage settings are very critical for high capacitance capacitors. For some cap meters, the applied voltage to the test component is insufficient and thus the capacitance reads low.
Customer ServiceCapacitanceof ceramic capacitors is measured using measurement instruments such as a LCR meter (measurement principle is see below.) and an impedance analyzer. In our company, the nominal capacitance of ceramic capacitors is measured under following conditions.
Customer ServiceA second measurement was performed, now using a known 2.2µF/16V capacitor taken from a sample kit supplied by Murata (part number = GRM188R61C225KE15). In this measurement the values were recorded over the entire operating 0 to 16V range. The relative capacitance was determined by measuring both the output voltage of the circuit and the actual
Customer ServiceNotice that we use the symbol Xc for the reactance of the pure capacitor, to distinguish from its insulation resistance, R. In this example we''ll consider a ceramic capacitor of 2.2uf (2.2x10-6 farads) with a typical minimum insulation resistance of 2GW. If a capacitor is tested at 200V and measures a dielectric
Customer ServiceThe capacitance of multilayer ceramic chip capacitors changes when DC bias voltage is applied. There are two types of multilayer ceramic capacitors: capacitors for temperature compensation and high dielectric constant capacitors. Capacitors for temperature compensation (C0G type etc.) hardly change when DC bias voltage is applied. On the other
