Patent number: 10476465Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methodology for increasing the resonance frequency and useful frequency range of surface mount RC equalizer devices. The presently disclosed subject matter provides improved operational characteristics of generally known such RC equalizer devices by implementing a reverse geometry that relocates the internal termination points, as well as external termination points for such devices, along lateral portions of the assembled device. Such reverse geometry achieves improvements by providing a reduction of the equivalent series inductance (ESL) to provide the increased resonance frequency and useful frequency range.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: AVX CorporationInventor: Gheorghe Korony

Patent number: 10176925Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methodology for providing a precision laser adjustable (e.g., trimmable) thin film capacitor array. A plurality of individual capacitors are formed on a common substrate and connected together in parallel by way of fusible links. The individual capacitors are provided as laddered capacitance value capacitors such that a plurality of lower valued capacitors corresponding to the lower steps of the ladder, and lesser numbers of capacitors, including a single capacitor, for successive steps of the ladder, are provided. Precision capacitance values can be achieved by either of fusing or ablating selected of the fusible links so as to remove the selected subcomponents from the parallel connection. In-situ live-trimming of selected fusible links may be performed after placement of the capacitor array on a hosting printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: AVX CorporationInventors: Kevin D.
