Over the past ten years or so, ceramic capacitors have made great strides in volumetric efficiency. 1 µF used to be the biggest you could get, and now, at a low voltage, you can get 470 µF in a small ...

This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...

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 ...
