TDA4VM-Q1: X5R cap replace X7R cap

Part Number: TDA4VM-Q1

Dear expert,

Our customer wants to use X5R instead of X7R used in EVM, for smaller size. Coud you share TI suggestion about that? Thanks.

Best Regards,

Xingyu Zhu

  • The difference between X5R and X7R is the temperature rating/performance of the capacitor.  The selected capacitor would be dependent on the end products temperature environment, and thus TI cannot comment.  In general - as capacitors supported temperature range changes - so can its performance (its capacity).  Designers need to make sure the capacity changes (from temperature) do not affect the design performance.
