What is a multilayer capacitor?
Multilayer capacitor, showing alternating layers of metal electrodes and ceramic dielectric.
What are multilayer ceramic capacitors used for?
Even among the various types of capacitors, multilayer ceramic capacitors, although small, are available in a wide range of capacitance values, and are used in various circuits for noise removal, smoothing of power supply voltages, filtering, and other applications.
What are the 2 types of capacitor?
Capacitors are divided into two mechanical groups: Fixed capacitors with fixed capacitance values and variable capacitors with variable (trimmer) or adjustable (tunable) capacitance values. The most important group is the fixed capacitors. Many got their names from the dielectric.
