Silicon capacitor boasts ultra-low ESL
Joining Empower’s family of E-CAP silicon capacitors for high-frequency decoupling is the EC1005P, a device with an equivalent series inductance (ESL) of just 1 picohenry (pH). The EC1005P offers a capacitance of 16.6 µF, along with low impedance up to 1 GHz. A very thin profile allows the capacitor to be embedded into the substrate or interposer of any SoC, especially those used in high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
E-CAP high-density silicon capacitor technology fulfills the ‘last inch’ decoupling gap from the voltage regulators to the SoC supply pins. This approach integrates multiple discrete components into a single monolithic device with a much smaller footprint and component count than solutions based on conventional multilayer ceramic capacitors.
In addition to sub-1-pH ESL, the EC1005P provides sub-3-mΩ equivalent series resistance (ESR). The capacitor comes in a 3.643×3.036-mm, 120-pad chip-scale package. Its standard profile of 784 µm can be customized for various height requirements.
The EC1005P E-CAP is sampling now, with volume production expected in Q4 2024. A datasheet for the EC1005P was not available at the time of this announcement. For more information about Empower’s ECAP product family, click here.
