Get C0G performance up to 0.47uF

C0G and NP0 capacitor dielectrics are popular for their low or zero capacitance change with voltage. However in small SMT packages, 0805, they're only available up to ~ 0.01uF. For higher values we're forced to use X7R, Z5U or other inferior dielectrics. These might change in value by 15% to over 50% at the rated voltage.

But, whoa, Kemet has announced a new dielectric, type U2J, which can give us high capacitance values, to 0.056 uF in 0805 and 0.22uF in 1206, with C0G-like voltage properties. The largest size, 1812, offers 0.47uF at 25V. Impressive.

"negligible shift in capacitance with respect to voltage and boasts a predictable and linear change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature with no aging effect"

I like C0G because most types exhibit essentially zero DA, dielectric absorption. Perhaps U2J will be as good.

Newark has them in stock. They have up to 0.33uF.

Interesting, but the specs are sort of minimal. If you test some, please let us know what you discover.

So it's a standard-part N750!

piezoelectric sensitivity is also an important spec for PLL loop filters

Nice Thanks,

DF (dissipation factor) is low too.
