A ceramic capacitor is a fixed-value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric. It is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes.
The composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behavior and therefore applications.What are the benefits for using multilayer ceramic capacitor? One of the advantages is that multilayer ceramic capacitors have excellent frequency characteristics, thanks to their low equivalent series resistance (ESR). The term “ESR” refers to the resistance component of a capacitor’s internal electrodes, etc.
