The X2Y
®
Design - A Capacitive Circuit
X2Y components share many common features with standard multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) for easy adoption by end-users.
• Same component sizes (0603, 0805, 1206, etc.)
• Same pick and place equipment
• Same dielectric, electrode and termination materials
• Same industry test standards for component reliability
®
A standard multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) consists of opposing electrode layers A & B. The X2Y
®
design adds another set of electrode layers (G) which
effectively surround each existing electrode of a two-terminal capacitor. The only external difference is two additional side terminations, creating a four-terminal
capacitive circuit, which allows circuit designers a multitude of attachment options.

Circuit 1: Filtering
When used in circuit 1 configuration the X2Y
®
filter capacitor is connected across two signal lines. Differential mode noise is filtered to ground by the two Y
capacitors, A & B. Common mode noise is cancelled within the device.

Experts agree that balance is the key to a “quiet” circuit. X2Y® is a balanced circuit device with two equal
halves, tightly matched in both phase and magnitude with respect to ground. Several advantages are
gained by two balanced capacitors sharing a single ceramic component body.
• Exceptional common mode rejection
• Effects of aging & temperature are equal on both caps
• Effect of voltage variation eliminated
• Matched line-to-ground capacitance
InAmp Input Filter Example
In this example, a single Johanson X2Y
®
component was used to filter noise at the input of a DC
instrumentation amplifier. This reduced component count by 3-to-1 and costs by over 70% vs.
conventional filter components that included 1% film Y-capacitors.

Circuit 2: Decoupling
When used in circuit 2 configuration, A & B capacitors are placed in parallel effectively doubling the apparent capacitance while maintaining an ultra-low
inductance. The low inductance advantages of the X2Y® Capacitor Circuit enables high-performance bypass networks at reduced system cost.

Component Performance
The X2Y
®
has short, multiple and opposing current paths
resulting in lower device inductance.
Mounted Performance
Mutual coupling from
opposing polarity vias
lowers inductance when
mounted on a PCB.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
1:5 MLCC Replacement Example
X2Y’s
®
proven technology enables end-users to use one X2Y
capacitor to replace five conventional MLCCs in a typical high
performance IC bypass design. Vias are nearly cut in half, board
space is reduced and savings are in dollars per PCB.

filter capacitors employ a unique, patented low inductance design featuring two balanced
capacitors that are immune to temperature, voltage and aging performance differences.
These components offer superior decoupling and EMI filtering performance, virtually eliminate
parasitics, and can replace multiple capacitors and inductors saving board space and reducing
assembly costs.
