For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...

Comparison of Class I and Class II MLCCs. The importance of equivalent series resistance. Why Class I caps are the choice when meeting power-density requirements. Two primary characteristics of a ...

AVX has extended the capacitance range and voltage ratings of its X7R dielectric MLCC (multilayer ceramic capacitor) portfolio, expanding high-volumetric efficiency options for mobile, medical, ...

There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...
