SK-AM68: The capacitor issue for SK-AM68

Part Number: SK-AM68
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM68

Tool/software:

Hi,

Plesae kindly check the SK-AM68 design, we find the EMI capacitor is the MURATA NFM18HC106D0G & NFM15HC105D0G, the capacitor is the 4pin package, so if we can change to 2pin capacitor instand? thanks.

  • I assume you are asking about a customer AM68 design and using standard 2pin capacitors in place of the 3terminal capacitor?  3-terminal capacitors offer lower package inductance and thus have better decoupling performance when compared with standard 2pin capacitors.  We recommend customer use them when designing their own systems, but they are not required.  Power delivery network targets are provided for the low voltage, high current power rails - and those targets are required to be met. Using 3-terminal capacitors can help achieve those targets.
