HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ATC, a leading manufacturer of microwave, millimeter-wave and RF passive components, has developed an ultra-broadband capacitor (UBC)™ for optical high-speed data communications signal integrity markets. This product has been designed and manufactured with the highest quality materials to provide reliable and repeatable ultra-broadband performance. The 550L is a rugged ceramic capacitor that provides excellent performance for digital transmission and reception of high-speed data signals. This component features a unique design that provides ultra-low insertion loss, flat frequency response and excellent matching over multiple octaves of frequency spectrum.
“The market is continually moving to higher data transmission rates and requires an increasing number of high-performance ultra-broadband components, which in turn reflects in increased customer demand. The 550L Series ultra-broadband capacitors have been designed to serve high-volume ultra-broadband markets for customers requiring outstanding performance at optical high-speed data bandwidths,” said Richard Fiore, director of RF applications engineering at ATC.
The 550L has been engineered in a one-piece orientation-insensitive 0402 SMT package, making the product fully compatible with high speed automated pick-and-place manufacturing operations. Providing a capacitance value of 100nF, frequency coverage from 16KHz through 40+GHz., typical insertion loss of < 0.5dB, and a voltage rating of 16WVDC, the 550L Series provides excellent return loss and unit-to-unit performance repeatability. The 550L Series capacitors are RoHS-compliant and are available with gold terminations.
This series provides superior ultra-broadband performance and reliability, making them ideal for the requirements of the most stringent ultra-broadband applications, including optoelectronics / high-speed data, transimpedance amplifiers, receive-and-transmit, optical sub-assembly (ROSA/TOSA), synchronous optical networking (SONET), broadband test equipment and broadband microwave/millimeter-wave.
Typical pricing for the 550L Series ultra-broadband capacitor is $1.73 in 10K quantity, with a lead time of four weeks.
