Low Inductance Capacitors (RoHS)LICC 0612/0508/0306/0204 LICC (Low Inductance Chip Capacitors)The key physical characteristic determining equivalent series inductance (ESL) of a capacitor isthe size of the current loop it creates. The smaller the current loop, the lower the ESL.A standard surface mount MLCC is rectangular in shape with electrical terminations on itsshorter sides. A Low Inductance Chip Capacitor (LICC) sometimes referred to as ReverseGeometry Capacitor (RGC) has its terminations on the longer sides of its rectangular shape. Theimage on the right shows the termination differences between an MLCC and an LICC.When the distance between terminations is reduced, the size of the current loop is reduced.Since the size of the current loop is the primary driver of inductance, an 0306 with a smallercurrent loop has significantly lower ESL then an 0603. The reduction in ESL varies by EIA size,however, ESL is typically reduced 60% or more with an LICC versus a standard MLCC.AVX LICC products are available with a lead-free finish of plated Nickel/Tin.MLCCLICCCheck for up-to-date CV Tables athttp://www.avx.com/docs/catalogs/licc.pdfHOW TO ORDER0612 Z D105MAT2ASize0204030605080612Voltage4 = 4V6 = 6.3VZ = 10VY = 16V3 = 25V5 = 50VDielectricC = X7RD = X5RW = X6SZ = X7SCapacitanceCode (In pF)2 Sig.
