Impedance

The impedance performance of the CC0603KRX7R8BB104 capacitor demonstrates a consistent alignment with the statistical benchmarks provided for the 1-volt measurement. For example, the impedance at the 5 Hz test frequency is 306.2 kOhms, which falls within the benchmark data range of 278 k - 345.9 kOhms. Similarly, at the 10 Hz test frequency, the capacitor has an impedance of 153.5 kOhms, aligning with the benchmark range of 139.3 k - 173 kOhms. This adherence to benchmark ranges is observed consistently for all test frequencies up to 1 MHz, where the impedance measure is 1.724 kOhms and the benchmark range is 1.666 k - 2.837 kOhms.

Impedance is a critical parameter that should be considered during the selection and design phase of an electronic circuit, as it can affect the overall performance and stability of a system. A capacitor with an impedance tailored to the requirements of a particular application will contribute to achieving optimal performance and efficiency.

When comparing the capacitor's impedance performance at 10 volts with the available 1-volt benchmarks, it is important to note that the impedance values are consistently lower at all test frequencies. For instance, at the 5 Hz test frequency, the impedance measured at 10 volts is 249.9 kOhms, which is notably lower than the average impedance value observed at 1 volt (313.4 kOhms). This pattern remains true across all test frequencies up to 1 MHz. However, it must be emphasized that comparing measurements at different test voltages may not provide a completely accurate representation of the capacitor's performance due to the inherent dependency of impedance on the applied voltage. Consequently, using benchmark data for different test voltages would be more appropriate to obtain a precise insight into the performance and behavior of this capacitor across different operating conditions.

Capacitance

In this section, we will examine the capacitance performance of the Yageo CC0603KRX7R8BB104 Capacitor at 1 Volt and 10 Volts across a range of frequencies from 5 Hz to 1 MHz. We will then compare the obtained results against statistical benchmark data derived from similarly valued components in the Ceramic: X7R category.

Starting with the LCR measurements at 1 Volt, we observe series capacitance values ranging from 104n at 5 Hz to 92.32n at 1 MHz. Remarkably, the capacitor consistently exhibits higher series capacitance than the average benchmark values from 5 Hz to 900 kHz. The differences vary between 2.2n at 5 Hz and 9.79n at 100 kHz. However, at 1 MHz, the difference narrows to a mere 0.47n compared to the benchmark's average, indicating performance close to the benchmark at this extreme of the frequency range.

Moving on to the capacitor's performance at 10 Volts, we observe a similar trend of higher capacitance values compared to the benchmark's average across the tested frequencies. Values range from 127.6n at 5 Hz to an unreported value after 650 kHz. The capacitance difference starts at 25.8n at 5 Hz, peaks at 16.1n at 50 kHz, then decreases to 12.4n at 100 kHz. The values steadily decline further until stabilizing at 14.43n between 550 kHz and 650 kHz.

In summary, the Yageo CC0603KRX7R8BB104 Capacitor demonstrates higher-than-average capacitance values compared to similar components across the entire tested frequency range at both 1 Volt and 10 Volts. This robust performance profile makes it well-suited for applications within the Ceramic: X7R category that require increased capacitance values within the evaluated frequency range.

Series Resistance

In this section, we will analyze the capacitor's performance by comparing its series resistance values at 1V and 10V testing frequencies with the provided benchmark data. We will examine two sets of series resistance values at these testing frequencies.

At the 1V testing frequency, the capacitor performs better than the average series resistance values at test frequencies ranging from 5Hz to 600kHz. For instance, at 50Hz, the series resistance is 477.4 Ohms, which demonstrates a significant improvement over the average benchmark resistance of 865 Ohms. At 5kHz, the series resistance is 5.552 Ohms, while the average benchmark value is 10.02 Ohms. Similarly, at 600kHz, the capacitor under analysis has a series resistance of 44.85m Ohms, compared to the benchmark average value of 93.98m Ohms.

Despite the capacitor's notable performance relative to average benchmark values, it exhibits higher series resistance values compared to the benchmark minimum values across all test frequencies at 1V. For instance, the series resistance at 1kHz is 26.13 Ohms, while the benchmark minimum resistance is 15.06 Ohms. This finding suggests that while the capacitor's performance is notable compared to benchmark averages, it is not optimal when considering the minimum series resistance values across test frequencies.

At the 10V testing frequency, the capacitor's series resistance values consistently fall short compared to the benchmark average values. For example, at 50kHz, the series resistance is 1.264 Ohms, whereas the average benchmark value is 1.039 Ohms. Similar disparities can be observed across other test frequencies as well. This reveals that the capacitor's performance at a higher testing voltage is not as impressive as its performance at the lower 1V testing frequency.

Overall, the analysis of the series resistance values provides valuable insights into the capacitor's performance relative to the benchmark data. It allows us to understand the component's strengths and weaknesses within the context of various testing frequencies and voltages, contributing to informed decision-making in using this capacitor in electronic applications.

Dissipation Factor and Quality Factor

In this section, we examine the dissipation factor (Df) and quality factor (Q) of the Yageo CC0603KRX7R8BB104 ceramic capacitor with an X7R dielectric. Both factors significantly impact the signal loss and stored energy capabilities of the component, making them essential factors to understand when evaluating its performance under various conditions.

By comparing the CC0603KRX7R8BB104 capacitor to a statistical benchmark in terms of Df and Q, we can identify trends that reveal its performance under different measurement scenarios. Specifically, we assess these trends by observing the performance at varied test frequencies and with LCR measurements obtained at either 1 Volt or 10 Volts.

When considering the 1 Volt LCR measurements, the capacitor exhibits a generally low dissipation factor, ranging from 0.013 to 0.018. This low Df is beneficial as it minimizes energy loss, ultimately contributing to better overall performance. At the same time, the quality factor values are between 54.96 and 75.87 across the test frequencies. These values indicate average energy storage capabilities when compared to the benchmark, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the component's behavior.

As we explore the LCR measurements at 10 Volts, the capacitor's dissipation factor sees a slight increase, ranging from 0.022 to 0.063. While higher than at 1 Volt, this increase still lies within acceptable tolerances and confirms that the capacitor maintains only a marginally higher energy loss when subjected to a voltage of 10 Volts. It is crucial to note that the quality factor values decrease substantially in this case, moving between 16.37 and 44.88. This decline in Q values suggests a decrease in the energy storage capabilities of the Yageo CC0603KRX7R8BB104 capacitor when operating at 10 Volts.

Comparative Analysis

Conclusion

In our technical review of the Yageo CC0603KRX7R8BB104 Ceramic X7R Capacitor, we have meticulously analysed its performance compared to the statistical benchmark data collected from other components of the same value. The manufacturer's specifications indicate that this is a 100nF, ±10% tolerance, 25V rated surface mount device in a 0603 (1608 Metric) package.

When tested at 1 Volt, the CC0603KRX7R8BB104 delivered an impedance below the average for most test frequencies but started to exhibit a higher Dissipation Factor near the higher end of the frequency range. However, the Quality Factor remains within acceptable range across the board, which demonstrates a reasonable performance in terms of energy loss. The Series Resistance followed a similar trend, offering consistent results across test frequencies. Comparing the capacitance values at 1 Volt, the CC0603KRX7R8BB104 maintains a close correspondence with the benchmark data.

Under 10 Volts testing, the device manifested higher impedance values and an increased Dissipation Factor compared to the results at 1 Volt. While the Quality Factor remains satisfactory at lower frequencies, there seems to be a slight decline in the higher frequency range. The Series Resistance exhibited a consistent behavior in this case as well.

In conclusion, the Yageo CC0603KRX7R8BB104 Capacitor demonstrates a satisfactory performance across the majority of the frequency range, aligning relatively well with the statistical benchmarks. Its primary drawback is the increased Dissipation Factor at higher frequencies, especially when tested at 10 Volts, which may impact certain applications. Engineers should take these factors into account when considering the CC0603KRX7R8BB104 as a potential choice to ensure that its performance matches their specific requirements.
