Silicon CapacitorsUBDC / BBDC / ULDC Series

Ultra-Broadband surface mounted differential Si capacitor pairs

Ultra broadband smart products have been developped to keep pace with evolving optical communication market requirements and customers' feedbacks. With an on-going miniaturization and improved performances of optoelectronics circuitries, *Murata offers some smart solutions by integrating differential capacitor pairs, matched termination...into a single silicon passive device. This unique integration based on ultra deep trench MOS Silicon offers unique performances with low insertion loss, low reflection and phase stability up to more than 60 GHz for the UBDC, up to 40 GHz for the BBDC and up to 20 GHz for the ULDC. These capacitors are fully compatible with high speed automated pick-and-place manufacturing operations and are available with ENIG termination and with SAC305 pre-bump for 0402M case size.

* Murata Integrated Passive Solutions S.A.
