World's first JEITA RCX-2326 compliant MLCCs from Murata achieved with advances in capacitor construction

World's first JEITA RCX-2326 compliant MLCCs from Murata achieved with advances in capacitor construction

Murata's GW series of multilayer ceramic capacitors is the world's first to comply to the Japanese standard JEITA RCX-2326. This standard specifies capacitance under actual operating conditions including temperature and DC voltage. Murata has succeeded in achieving higher capacitance with the GW series under these conditions compared with previous models of multilayer ceramic capacitors. The GW series is therefore ideal for decoupling capacitor use in power supply circuits for low voltage driven devices and CPUs, FPGAs and similar applications.
