UBL TECHNOLOGY
KYOCERA AVX, the industry leader, is introducing the new 520L Series Multilayer Broadband Capacitor.
This device provides low insertion loss performance over multiple octaves of frequency spectrum.
The 520L capacitor is compatible with high speed automated pick and place SMT manufacturing. The
520L is ideal for broadband DC blocking, coupling, bypassing, and feedback applications in optical
communications systems and equipment using high-speed digital logic.

520L Data Sheet Test Condition Description
All testing performed on 10-mil-thick Rogers RO4350 microstrip board, with the UUT subtending a 24 mil gap in a 22-mil-wide center trace (nominal 50-ohm
characteristic impedance). Measurements were made using an Anritsu 3680K Universal Test Fixture and an HP8722D Vector Network Analyzer having a
four-receiver architecture. Measurements have been de-embedded to the edges of the UUT using a standard TRL calibration procedure.
