SC Series: MIS Chip Capacitors

DATA SHEET

Description

Skyworks MIS Chip Capacitors are available in a wide range of

sizes and capacitance values. They are frequently used in

applications requiring DC blocking, RF bypassing, or as a fixed

capacitance tuning element in filters, oscillators, and matching

networks. The devices have a dielectric composed of thermally

grown silicon dioxide over which a layer of silicon nitride is

deposited. This dielectric possesses a low temperature coefficient

of capacitance and very high insulation resistance. The devices

also exhibit excellent long-term stability making them suitable for

high-reliability applications. The capacitors have a high dielectric

breakdown which permits the use of thin dielectrics resulting in

large capacitance per unit area. The temperature coefficient is

less that 50 ppm/°C, and operation is suitable from -65 °C to

200 °C. Compared to ceramic capacitors, Skyworks MIS chip

capacitors offer higher Q, and a lower insertion loss of 0.04 dB,

in a 50

Ω system. Insulation resistance is greater than

Ω. To accommodate high-volume automated assembly

methods, wafers can be supplied on expanded film frame. To

reduce cost, chips can be supplied packaged in vials with

sample testing only. Packaging in waffle packs with 100%

electrical test and visual inspection is available.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Performance is guaranteed only under the conditions listed in the specifications table and is

not guaranteed under the full range(s) described by the Absolute Maximum specifications.

Exceeding any of the absolute maximum/minimum specifications may result in permanent

damage to the device and will void the warranty.

CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as

possible, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) can damage

this device. This device must be protected at all times

from ESD. Static charges may easily produce poten-

tials of several kilovolts on the human body or

equipment, which can discharge without detection.

Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed

at all times.
