Temperature Compensating
Capacitors
Temperature compensating ceramic capacitors are ideally suited for applications that demand controlled
capacitance change with temperature variation, such as resonant circuit applications. The high capacitance
in smaller packages with high reliability provides volumetric efficiency and is well-suited for automatic
assembly (tape and reel).
These capacitors are suitable solutions for applications requiring:
•
High Q and frequency stability with excellent retrace
characteristics.
•
Very predictable temperature coefficients.
•
Capacitors unaffected by voltage, frequency, or time.
•
A dielectric material that is not ferro-electric.
•
The most stable capacitor type available.
