More than twice the capacitance of conventional multilayer ceramic capacitors—achieving large capacitance for automotive applications
TOKYO, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD., has commercialized the “MAASA32MAD7227MP1D71” (3.2 × 2.5 × 2.8 mm, maximum height), a multilayer ceramic capacitor (hereinafter “MLCC”), which complies with “AEC-Q200” certification reliability test standard for passive automotive components.
This MLCC more than doubles capacitance when compared to TAIYO YUDEN’s conventional MLCC, the MAASP32MAD7107MPCA01 (3.2 × 2.5 × 2.8 mm, maximum height; capacitance of 100 μF).
This MLCC is designed for output smoothing and decoupling applications in automotive systems, including control systems such as engine ECUs, safety systems including ABS and ADAS, and information processing systems such as instrument clusters.
Mass production of this product began in May 2026 at TAIYO YUDEN’s Tamamura Plant (Sawa-gun, Gunma Prefecture).
Technology Background
Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly multifunctional and high performance, driven by advancements in electronic controls due to the evolution of ADAS and functional upgrades through software updates in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Achieving these capabilities demands advanced automotive electronics including internal and external vehicle networking and the implementation of scalable designs. As vehicle complexity grows, the processing capacity of ICs increases, which necessitates that the onboard MLCCs simultaneously achieve both high reliability and large capacitance.
In response to this demand, TAIYO YUDEN has commercialized the MAASA32MAD7227MP1D71, achieving large capacitance in a compact 3225-size package for automotive applications. This MLCC offers more than twice the capacitance of TAIYO YUDEN’s conventional MLCCs, and will contribute to enhancing the overall performance of advanced vehicles.
TAIYO YUDEN will continue to focus on developing products that meet market needs and further expand its lineup of MLCCs.
