Murata has unveiled the X2SC series silicon capacitor, the X2SC 0201M 22nF BV11, boasting extreme broadband performance exceeding 220GHz. This breakthrough component leverages Murata’s proprietary silicon capacitor technology to deliver high capacitance in a tiny 0201M package, enabling superior signal integrity in high-speed digital and RF circuits.\n\nThe capacitor offers 22nF capacitance with very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL), critical for decoupling and filtering in applications up to millimeter-wave frequencies. The BV11 rating indicates a breakdown voltage of 11V, making it suitable for advanced semiconductor nodes.\n\nEngineers can now achieve higher channel densities and improved power integrity in 5G, satellite communications, and radar systems.

The component is available from Murata and its distributors, with a datasheet providing detailed electrical performance curves.
