Sourcing high value MLCC capacitors is a real problem. I often design something into my board, only to find out it has gone out of stock. It’s like playing whack-a-mole.
- laydn 7y agoWe made an item in our design checklist last year to avoid high value MLCC caps whenever possible. We also made sure that no designer can add new high value MLCCs to the component library :)
- robocat 7y agoGood high level history of MLCC (including graph from 2017 showing shortages): https://www.ttiinc.com/content/ttiinc/en/resources/marketeye/categories/passives/me-zogbi-20170602.html https://www.ttiinc.com/content/ttiinc/en/resources/marketeye...
