X7R formulations are called “temperature stable” ceramics and fall into EIA Class II materials, and COG (NPO) is the most popular “temperature-compensating” EIA Class I ceramic materials
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors whose temperature variation is within ±15% from -55°C to +125°C The capacitance change is non-linear Capacitance for X7R varies under the influence of electrical operating conditions such as voltage and frequency AVX high voltage chips have advantages of high value, low leakage and small size, thus applications include as snubbers in high frequency power converters, resonators in SMPS and high voltage coupling/DC blocking These high voltage chip designs exhibit low ESRs at high frequencies Reduced noise X5R versions available
