Capacitors are fundamental components used in all electronic circuits. Specialty RF circuits operate at extremely high frequencies and have unique capacitor requirements. Quality factory or “Q” is critical in such circuits and Hi-Q capacitors with low ESR and high self-resonant frequency are often used for impedance matching, filtering, and DC blocking. Richardson RFPD offers a wide variety of Hi-Q capacitors for use in RF applications, including multilayer ceramic, porcelain, multilayer organic, thin film ceramic, and CMOS.
We stock and support the following HiQ Capacitors
MACOM
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.
