Ceramic Capacitor Basics
Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are capacitors made up of multiple layers of ceramic material that serve as the dielectric.
- Capacitor: An electrical device that stores energy in an electric field between two closely spaced plates.
- Uses: Capacitors function as energy storage devices and can filter different frequencies, making them essential for electronic filters.
- Capacitance Value: Indicates how much electrical charge a capacitor can store at a given voltage.
- MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor): Composed of alternating layers of ceramic and metal, creating a compact, multilayer structure.
Capacitors are versatile components used for energy storage and signal filtering, with MLCCs being particularly popular for their efficient design and performance.
