Capacitor Networks, Arrays
One of the most common applications of capacitor networks, arrays is the U2K110CG150KB-T. This type of capacitor array has a unique construction which virtually eliminates noise and interference, making it an ideal choice for use in sensitive electronic circuits. The U2K110CG150KB-T is a wide range capacitor array comprising of five individual capacitors; each with a rated capacitance of 110 picofarads (pF).
Features
This type of capacitor array has a number of advantages compared to conventional components. The U2K110CG150KB-T has a small size and low profile which makes it ideal for use in space-constrained applications. Additionally, the capacitors in the array are self-heating, which helps to minimise additive thermal noise. This also helps to improve signal integrity and reduce stray interference. Furthermore, the U2K110CG150KB-T array has a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C which makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Working principle
The U2K110CG150KB-T is a 5-unit, AC biased capacitor array. The capacitors in the array are connected in parallel and each capacitor has a separate termination to the component. The component then acts as a low-impedance AC filter, allowing signals or currents to pass between the different parts of the circuit but blocking any potential noise or interference. The filter is particularly effective at blocking out any signal frequencies below the resonant frequency of the component. This helps to reduce signal distortion and improve signal integrity. The component is also designed to be self-heating which helps it to reduce noise and interference even further.
Applications
The U2K110CG150KB-T capacitor array is ideal for a wide variety of applications including:
- High frequency signal filtering, particularly in sensitive circuits
- Power electronics
- Portable applications such as mobile phones, laptops, and other electronic devices
- DC/DC converters
- High-performance pulse applications
The component is also suitable for use in high power, high voltage, and high temperature environments. Furthermore, it can be used in space-constrained applications or in areas with limited air flow due to its small size and low profile.
