MM Series MLCC for Medical Applications

The AVX MM series is a multi-layer ceramic capacitor designed for use in medical applications other than implantable/life support. These components have the design and change control expected for medical devices and also offers enhanced lot acceptance testing (LAT) including reliability testing and 100% inspection.

The MM series is designed for non-critical medical applications:

  • Non-implantable non-life support medical devices; for example, patient monitoring, diagnostic equipment
  • Non-implantable life support medical devices with no defined usage limit; for example, heart pumps
  • Implantable non-life support medical devices intended to be operable for less than one year; for example, cardiac monitors
Features Applications
  • Proven MLCC technology appropriate for medical applications, excluding implantable and life support devices
  • Internal reliability qualification and LAT to support medical application requirements
  • Defined designs, materials, processes, and manufacturing facilities with change control that meets FDA requirements
  • Circuit applications:
    • Power regulation - low ripple filtering and IC decoupling
    • Timing
    • High frequency filtering
