AMC (Advanced Monolythic Ceramics)

Advanced Monolythic Ceramics, Inc. (AMC) is a major supplier of SMPS devices used in power conditioning and filtering. The new qualifications add to 88011 qualifications for NPO dielectric devices and our continued support of X7R dielectric devices defined by 87106. We will continually strive to offer the very best solutions for stable, reliable, high performance power supply and filtering capacitors. We also specialize in offering custom solutions tailored to your application needs.

AMC is a leading supplier of ceramic planar array and discoidal capacitor EMI filters. We have served the Aerospace, Biomedical, Military, Satellite, Industrial and Communication electronics industries since 1994. Recently AMC became a member of the Johanson companies and assumed the stacked SMPS, large format MLCC, and high voltage radial leaded capacitor product line.

Switch-Mode Ceramic Capacitors

Datasheet

Switch-Mode ceramic capacitors feature large capacitance values and exhibit low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and low ESL (equivalent series inductance) making them well suited for high power and high frequency applications where tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors may not be suitable. AMC offers two series of these devices. The P-Series feature mechanical and pin-out configurations per DSCC 87106 and 88011 drawings while the E-Series feature mechanical and pin-out configurations more common in European design applications.

Key Features P-Series Approved to DSCC Drawings 87106 & 88011 MIL-PRF-49470 E-Series Common European Lead Styles available to MIL-PRF-49470 requirements. NPO & X7R Dielectrics, 50 to 500 VDC Ratings Low ESR / Low ESL, Ideal for SMPS Filtering Applications Custom Sizes, Voltages, and Values Available

Mini-Switch Mode Ceramic Capacitors

Datasheet

AMC's Mini-Switch Mode® ceramic capacitors combine the advantages of high capacitance found in tantalum capacitors with very low ESR performance of ceramic capacitors. The "J" and "L" lead configurations replace 1825 and 2225 SMT chips to provide stress relief and prevent cracking due to thermal cycling or mechanical board flexing. Another plus of the J-lead style is that this configuration allows use of the same solder lands as the SMT chips. See the Switch-Mode section for larger values. See also the Technical Notes on soldering and handling and suggested solder lands.
