面向医疗市场的新型微片式钽电容

Prescription for the Medical Market:Tantalum Microchip Capacitors

无源元件制造商们要为医疗市场提供有效的服务,就必须满足一些特定的要求,对电子元器件来说,头号的要求就是可靠性。然而,随着包括植入式装置在内的医疗电子设备的兴旺发展,对极小型的、专门定制的钽电容的需求也在进一步增长。这些关键应用所考虑的其它因素包括:元件封装设计、工作电源范围和钽器件优异的电容-电压(CV)特性。AVX公司开发出了一种能满足这些医疗设备设计者要求的表面贴装式钽电容器TACmicrochip。这类钽微片式电容在微小化方面取得了重要突破,而且没有降低产品性能。

Passive component manufacturers have specific requirements they must meet, in order to most effectively serve the medical market. Thenumber one need in this market as far as electronic components is concerned is reliability. However, with the proliferation of medicalelectronics including implantable devices, the demand for extremely small, customizable tantalum capacitors is further increasing. Otherconsiderations for these critical applications include component package design, working voltage ranges and the advantageous CV levelsof tantalum devices.AVX Corporation has developed the TACmicrochip, a surface mount tantalum capacitor that meets designers' requirements for these medicaldevices. These tantalum microchip capacitors are a major breakthrough in miniaturization without sacrificing performance, therefore makingthem ideal for such low profile, high performance applications.
