Selection and calibration of capacitors for use as Standards is a challenging task, especially since the accuracies required, depening on the application, can be very demanding for the test gear as well as for the secondary- and working-standards used.
At these parameters of the model the acceleration factors are large, and a 96-hour testing of capacitors at 2 times rated voltage (VR) and 125 °C during voltage conditioning (a typical screening procedure) would be equivalent to testing at operating conditions (assumed 50 °C and 0.5 VR) to more than a thousand years of operation (see Figure 1).
Welcome to the Capacitor Fundamentals Series, where we teach you about the ins and outs of chips capacitors – their properties, product classifications, test standards, and use cases – in order to help you make informed decisions about the right capacitors for your specific applications.
Electrical behavior of ceramic chip capacitors is strongly dependent on test conditions, most notably temperature, voltage and frequency. This dependence on test parameters is more evident with Class II ferroelectric dielectrics, and negligible or more easily predictable with Class I formulations.
Parts with different design, e.g. low inductance ceramic capacitors (LICA), land grid array (LGA) etc., might need additional testing and tailoring of the requirements described in this document. Although the focus of this document is on commercial MLCCs, many procedures discussed below would be beneficial for military-grade capacitors. II.
The accuracy of voltage measurements should be 1 mV or better. The resistors will have a value of 100 kOhm for capacitors less than 1 μF and 10 kOhm for capacitors of 1 μF or larger.
Capacitor Fundamentals: Part 9 – Test Parameters and Electrical Properties
Industry standards specify a test voltage of 1.0 ± 0.2 V rms for all dielectrics, with the exception of some High-K less stable Class II bodies which are typically specified by manufacturers at 0.1 or 0.5 V rms. Application of these materials at other voltages therefore presents correlation problems, even at low voltage stress (under 5 V rms /0....
