  • Technical Overview of NFL21SP506X1C3D: Murata’s Integrated EMI Filter for High-Speed Signal Lines

    1. Product Introduction

    The NFL21SP506X1C3D is a surface-mount EMI suppression filter developed by Murata, belonging to its renowned EMIFIL® series. Packaged in an 0805 (2012 metric) footprint, this component is designed to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) across a wide frequency spectrum, making it well-suited for digital and high-speed signal systems. It integrates a π-type low-pass filter structure, effectively attenuating conducted noise in the range of several MHz to several hundred MHz, thus enhancing overall system electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

    3. Product Features and Design Advantages

    1) Integrated π-Type Topology for Enhanced Layout Consistency

    The internal π-network (L-C-L) configuration consolidates two inductors and a central capacitor into a single compact component. This integrated structure eliminates impedance mismatches common in discrete layouts, improves frequency response uniformity, and simplifies PCB design.

    2) High-Frequency Noise Suppression Performance

    The filter delivers a typical insertion loss of 30 dB at 500 MHz, with strong suppression capabilities across 100 MHz to 1 GHz. This makes it ideal for mitigating EMI on high-speed data lines and power rails, helping end products meet stringent EMC standards.

    3) Compact Size with 2 A Current Handling

    Thanks to Murata’s optimized materials and winding processes, the device offers up to 2 A current capacity in a space-saving 0805 package—well-suited for EMI filtering in compact designs where power and signal lines coexist.
