ATC’s 545L Series Ultra-Broadband Capacitor (UBC
TM
) is
a unique component that provides ultra-low insertion
loss, flat frequency response and an excellent match
over multiple octaves of frequency spectrum in a one
piece configuration.
The 545L is ideal for ultra-broadband DC blocking,
coupling, bypassing, and feedback applications in
optical communications systems and equipment
using high-speed digital logic.
*25 °C, no bias applied

ATC 545L Data Sheet Test Condition Description
ATC testing to 40 GHz performed on 10-mil-thick Rogers RO4350 microstrip board, with the device under test subtending a 24 mil gap in a 22-mil-wide center
trace (nominal 50-ohm characteristic impedance). Modelithics model developed through testing on several different substrates, including 5-mil-thick Alumina
measured through 65 GHz. The modeled results presented for RO4350 were for a pad width of 20 mils and a gap of 16 mils.
