Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LC composite electronic components face challenges in achieving effective noise suppression across a wide frequency range without increasing their size, as larger filter constants require more layers or a larger electrode pattern, making them less compact.

Innovation Solution

The LC composite electronic component incorporates a multilayer structure with capacitor and coil units, including noise circulating capacitance between coil electrodes, which allows for noise reflection control and reduction without increasing the component's size by utilizing noise circulating capacitance between coil electrodes formed in the multilayer structure.
