MACOM KV CAPS™ silicon capacitors are high-density, high-working voltage silicon capacitors which employ a novel topology that essentially folds the parallel plates of the capacitors into three-dimensional structures, producing greater capacitance per unit area of die footprint than that of a simple parallel plate capacitor. This technology employs high reliability materials and wafer processing, which have been staples of the semiconductor industry for decades.
Higher surface area means high density, which results in more capacitance for a given size.
MACOM’s KV CAPS™ have the highest available working voltage ratings for silicon-based capacitors. The 50 VDC working voltage KV capacitors are ideal for use in demanding chip-and-wire circuits for DC blocking, AC bypass, and resonant-circuit applications.
