In summary, TDK’s Reverse Geometry C Series Capacitor offers industry standard case sizes in a “flipped” geometry construction. By rotating the orientation of the capacitor by 90°, the current path through the unit is shorten and effectively lowers the parasitic inductance value. Reduced ESL is necessary for noise decoupling in high speed applications. For decoupling capacitors, the parasitic inductance generated by the capacitor should be minimized thereby increasing the resonant frequency. Because of the unique design of the Flip Type capacitor, the parasitic inductance is lower than that of the traditional multilayer ceramic capacitor. This makes the Flip Type capacitor very effective for high speed decoupling applications.
