X7R formulations are called “temperature stable” ceramics and fall into EIA Class II materials, and COG (NPO) is the most popular “temperature-compensating” EIA Class I ceramic materials

• Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors whose temperature variation is within ±15% from -55°C to +125°C
• The capacitance change is non-linear
• AVX high voltage chips have advantages of high value, low leakage and small size, thus applications include as snubbers in high frequency power converters, resonators in SMPS and high voltage coupling/DC blocking
• These high voltage chip designs exhibit low ESRs at high frequencies
• Reduced noise X5R versions available
• Low profile versions available

X7R formulations are called “temperature stable” ceramics. X7R is the most popular of these intermediate dielectric constant materials. Its temperature variation of capacitance is within ±15% from -55°C to +125°C. This capacitance change is non-linear. Capacitance for X7R varies under the influence of electrical operating con-ditions such as voltage and frequency.X7R dielectric chip usage covers the broad spectrum of industrial applications where known changes in capacitance due to applied voltages are acceptable.
