Murata Electronics Unveils Advanced Common Mode Choke Coil; Low Cost Filtering Solution for USB, IEEE 1394, LVDS and Other High Speed Digital Interfaces

    SMYRNA, Ga.--Aug. 20, 2002--Murata Electronics (www.murata-northamerica.com) a world-leading innovator in electronics, today unveiled the DLW21H low cost common mode choke coil series.
    Using new precise winding technology Murata can deliver a low cost common mode choke coil that meets the performance needs of Universal Serial Bus (USB), FireWire/IEEE 1394, Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) and other high-speed digital interfaces.
    Digital high-speed interfaces are increasing in demand as the need for bandwidth grows and as electronics and computers become connected at work and at home. Murata's DLW21H series is crucial to the performance needs of high-speed digital interfaces because it suppresses noise with minimal distortion to the high-speed signal waveform.
    "Murata's sophisticated technology has made it easier for design engineers to meet FCC regulations while remaining cost competitive," said Shuji Mikami, Group Product Manager for EMI Filters and Inductors at Murata Electronics North America. "This attractive combination is just one of many reasons why Murata is the ceramic passive components market leader."
    Additional benefits of Murata's new common mode choke coil include lead free construction and compact 0805 size (2.0mm x 1.2mm x 0.9mm). Also, the DLW21H series produces high common mode impedance at high frequencies resulting in excellent noise suppression performance. The impedance values available in this product range from 67 to 180ohm.
    The operating temperature for the DLW21H series is -40 and 85 degrees Celsius.
    The sample price for the DLW21H series is 32 cents and current lead times are eight weeks.
