Samsung Electro-Mechanics has introduced the world’s first high-voltage, ultra-small Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) specifically designed for LiDAR applications in autonomous vehicles. The newly developed MLCC, CL05Y225KP66PN, is AEC-Q200 qualified, marking a significant breakthrough in the automotive electronics industry.
Key Highlights:
- First-ever 10V, 2.2uF MLCC in a compact 1005 size (1.0 mm x 0.5 mm).
- 60% higher voltage than the previous standard of 6.3V.
- Optimized for LiDAR and automotive applications, ensuring stable power supply and accurate signal transmission.
- Developed using proprietary additives and advanced manufacturing techniques to maintain high voltage and capacitance.
- Qualified for ADAS, body, chassis, and infotainment systems.
This innovation addresses a critical challenge in MLCC development: balancing high voltage and capacitance. Typically, increasing voltage requires a thicker dielectric layer, which reduces capacitance. Samsung Electro-Mechanics has overcome this limitation through advanced material technology that minimizes empty spaces within the dielectric, allowing stable operation at high voltages.
Choi Jeremy, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ Component Solution Unit, emphasized the growing demand for high-performance MLCCs in the automotive sector. He stated, “The demand for high-performance and high-reliability MLCCs is increasing due to the electrification of vehicles. We will strengthen our competitive edge by securing key technologies in materials, equipment, and manufacturing processes for MLCCs and actively respond to growth markets focusing on high-value products.”
With this latest development, Samsung Electro-Mechanics continues to expand its automotive MLCC lineup, reinforcing its leadership in the high-reliability capacitor market.
