Factors Driving 220μF MLCC Adoption
Increasing Capacitance Demand around ICs
Higher-performance AD/ADAS ICs require more MLCCs and higher ca pacitance
Severe PCB Space Constraints
ECU integration and miniaturization further limit board space
High Reliability
Requirements
Automotive grade(AEC-Q200), reflow stability, and long lifetime required
Polymer Capacitor Replacement
MLCCs enable downsizing with low ESR and low ESL
Polymer Capacitor Replacement Leveraging MLCC Advantages
Trend: Replacement from polymer capacitors to MLCCs is accelerating alongside higher SoC performance
High Capacitance Density
Approx. 2×capacitance in the same mounting area
