On October 19, 2013, AVX , a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, published a new technical paper, " Media Absorption of Multilayer Organic ( MLO TM) Capacitors ," announced a comparison with related technologies. Its MLO capacitor will show the lowest dielectric absorption (DA), making it ideal for sample-and-hold circuits. In the hold time of the sample and hold circuit, the voltage of the capacitor is assumed to be a designated and predetermined number. However, due to differences in dielectric absorption , the circuit may be susceptible to voltage errors.

Media absorption measurements based on the MIL-C-19778 test indicate that the AVX MLO capacitor exhibits a 0.0015% media absorption. For comparison, Teflon with very low DA showed less than 0.01% DA, and NP0 ceramic showed DA of 0.6%.

Edgardo Menendez, AVX application engineer, said: "Because of AVX's proprietary MLO material technology, our MLO capacitors have ultra-low DA, which is lower than many other dielectric technologies, so they are ideal for sample-and-hold circuits where DA can easily cause output errors. s solution."

AVX's MLO capacitors are based on AVX's proprietary MLO material technology and utilize high-area fabrication techniques and unique concentrating component design topologies to achieve high Q. The MLO capacitor is a low-loss RF component that maintains stability over a wide frequency range, matching most parts of the FR4 printed circuit board and is available for ratings up to 500V.
