EPCI is continuously collecting passive components news since 2015. The passive component industry is currently going through many challenges facing the new requirements from modern electronics in various applications and directions. On one side, the consumer electronics is moving towards applications such as wearable applications with IoT communication capabilities, supported by the upcoming 5G telecommunication infrastructure, on the other side there are number of demanding new requirements related to energy storage, renewable energies or automotive generation upgrade to EV/ HEV platforms. The paper presents a collection of commented year back selected capacitor headlines that provides a great illustration about the recent directions in capacitor technologies by manufactures’ press releases and pushed articles.

The automotive electronics industry has responded to automotive application challenges by defining a component stress-test standard for passive components known as AEC-Q200. It includes a set of tests, some drawn from other standards bodies, which a device must pass for it to be qualified to AEC-Q200.What is this about ? (more…)

Ta capacitors are the best choice when applications require highest capacitance (energy density) on miniature scale combined with high reliability, low ESR, and excellent stability over wide ranges of time and application temperature.
Recently, the demand of high reliability capacitors withstanding harsher conditions especially with respect to higher application voltage has been increased. Main driver for such applications are besides aviation and aerospace also automotive (driver assistance systems, e-vehicles) and transportation, medicine (defibrillators), defense but also consumer electronics like for data storage (solid state drive-SSD).
H.C. Starck continuously improves its portfolio of high voltage powders allowing to expand the tantalum capacitor technology to new fields of application. The “High Voltage Medium Capacitance” (HVMC) powders have a uniquecombination of structural homogeneity, high purity and tailored pore structure to provide the highest capacitance of Ta powder for the formation voltage (Vf) range >80 Vf. We will show the latest status of new developed powders that extend the range of forming voltage to 300 V and even up to 400 V.
Moreover, new options to further improve the pore structure resulting in increased capacitance at a given forming voltage will be presented as well. Beyond powder design, the tremendous impact of anode processing to master such high anodization voltages is highlighted.

by AVX Corp., Fountain Inn, S.C. The electronics industry continues to push manufacturers to develop smaller passive components capable of higher frequency performance. To meet these demands, traditional passive component designs are being stretched to beyond their limits. AVX recently pushed the boundary of traditional high frequency resistors with its new UBR series ultra-broadband thin film resistors. These ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric), ultra-broadband resistors are made with high performance tantalum nitride materials. The substrate and cover use the company’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich FLEXITERM®surface-mount technology, instead of the typical alumina ceramic or aluminum nitride, which reduces the traditional relative permittivity to just 4.4 F/m and helps extend the frequency range to 20 GHz.
