Part of the problem is the derating we have to do on this mil project. I am
trying to work this out with the customer right now. Obviously, if this were a
commercial project, I wouldn't be having this problem. In fact, I would probably
like to use the 0508 interdigitated style caps from AVX. Their series L is only
110pH, or so they say.
Thanks,
Chris
