Abstract :
The construction and characteristics of a multilayer ceramic (MLC) capacitor are reported. Results are presented from studies of MLC capacitors used in several power supply (large-signal) applications. These are described along with measurement techniques suited to large-signal devices. A variety of device ratings have been attained for both X7R and COG dielectrics. Capacitance values up to several hundred microfarads have been obtained in ratings from 25 to over 500 V
