Vishay Releases New Capacitors, Sensor and Schottky Diodes

May 15, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA), has announced the release of new multilayer ceramic chip capacitors and Schottky diodes.

The new Vishay Vitramon VJ0612 multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) will be used for high-frequency decoupling and bypass in laptop and desktop computers. The low-profile, very thin outline package of the VJ0612 series allows designers to place the new capacitors underneath ICs, requiring less board space in the final design and reducing circuit trace lengths and parasitic losses. Vishay's VJ9743, VJ9742, VJ9741, and VJ9740 each measure 0.063" by 0.126", with maximum thickness options of 0.020", 0.026", 0.028", and 0.030", respectively. The chip is designed to reduce ac noise in multi-chip modules.

The new Vishay Telefunken 101 Series Schottky barrier diodes feature maximum low forward voltage drop values ranging from 0.9V to 1V at a 15mA forward current. They are optimized for circuits where low power consumption and a low voltage drop are required. Typical applications will include steering, biasing, and coupling in dc/dc converters, low-current power supplies, protection circuits, or any other fast-switching, low-logic-level application.

Offered in the DO-35 (SD101x), MiniMELF (LL101x), QuadroMELF (LS101x), and MicroMELF (MCL101x) packages, the new Schottky diodes feature a low diode capacitance value ranging from 2.0pF to 2.2pF at a 1MHz frequency.
