NCM6S1205C - Murata Electronics

NCM6S1205C Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the NCM6S1205C?
  Murata recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 1.3mm x 0.8mm, and a spacing of 0.5mm between pads. A detailed land pattern can be found in the Murata's recommended land pattern document.
• How do I handle the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the NCM6S1205C?
  The ESR of the NCM6S1205C is typically around 0.02Ω. To minimize the impact of ESR, use a low-ESR capacitor, and consider using a capacitor with a higher voltage rating than the maximum voltage of your circuit. Additionally, ensure proper PCB layout and decoupling to reduce the effects of ESR.
• What is the derating curve for the NCM6S1205C?
  The derating curve for the NCM6S1205C can be found in the Murata's capacitor catalog or datasheet. The curve shows the reduction in capacitance value as the operating temperature increases. For example, at 85°C, the capacitance value is approximately 80% of the nominal value.
• Can I use the NCM6S1205C in a high-frequency application?
  Yes, the NCM6S1205C is suitable for high-frequency applications up to 100MHz. However, it's essential to consider the capacitor's impedance characteristics, including the self-resonant frequency (SRF) and the impedance at the operating frequency. Murata provides impedance vs. frequency curves in the datasheet to help with this evaluation.
• How do I ensure the reliability of the NCM6S1205C in my design?
  To ensure reliability, follow proper PCB design and assembly guidelines, including using a solder resist layer, avoiding excessive soldering temperatures, and ensuring proper cleaning and drying of the PCB. Additionally, consider using a capacitor with a higher voltage rating than the maximum voltage of your circuit, and follow the recommended derating curve.
