KYOCERA AVX is exhibiting at the 2022 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) March 6–10 in San Diego, California. The KYOCERA AVX exhibition at OFC 2022 will showcase highlights from the company's extensive portfolio of new and proven standard and custom passive component solutions ideally suited for RF and optical networking and communications applications. Highlights include ultra-broadband capacitors for DC blocking, coupling, bypassing, and feedback applications; ultra-broadband resistors ideal for optical transceiver modules; ultraminiature RF/microwave inductors in MLO™, thin film, air core, wire-wound ceramic, and multilayer ceramic technologies; and standard and custom single-layer ceramic capacitors available with and without borders, as well as with double-sided borders, and with dielectric constants ranging from 14 (NP0) to greater than 30,000 (X7R).

The new UBC 550 Series ultra-broadband capacitors deliver reliable, repeatable performance from 16KHz to 70+GHz in ultra-broadband microwave and millimeter-wave RF applications with stringent operating requirements. They exhibit ultra-low insertion loss, excellent return loss, flat frequency response, and high unit-to-unit repeatability and — unlike competing two-piece solutions — a rugged and compact single-piece, surface-mount, multilayer ceramic construction made of the highest quality RoHS-compliant materials. UBC 550 Series inductors are ideally suited for use in DC blocking, coupling, bypassing, and feedback applications within optoelectronics, high-speed data networks, transimpedance amplifiers, broadband test equipment, synchronous optical networks (SONET), transmit and receive optical subassemblies (TOSA and ROSA), and other ultra-broadband microwave and millimeter-wave RF applications.

The new LCCI Series ultraminiature multilayer ceramic chip inductors deliver outstanding reliability and performance from 100MHz to 2.4GHz in telecommunications and networking applications including mobile communications and computer networking systems, wireless large-area networks (WLAN), radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, personal handheld systems (PHS) ranging from smartphones and tablets to media players and gaming devices, and EMI countermeasures in high-frequency circuits. They exhibit high Q, high signal efficiencies, low DC resistance (DCR), tight inductance tolerances down to ±0.1nH, and guaranteed self-resonant frequencies (SRF) up to 10GHz and are currently available in 0201, 0402, and 0603 case sizes with tight physical tolerance dimensions in the submillimeter range and tin-plated surface-mount terminations to ensure proper function.
