Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are essential components in modern electronic devices, providing high reliability, stability, and efficiency in circuits. With applications ranging from consumer electronics to automotive and telecommunications, MLCCs play a crucial role in ensuring smooth electrical performance.

What is a Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)?
An MLCC is a compact, high-capacitance capacitor made of multiple ceramic layers interleaved with metal electrodes. These capacitors are known for their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high-frequency performance, and thermal stability, making them ideal for various electronic applications.

How MLCCs Work
MLCCs store and release electrical energy in circuits by using a dielectric ceramic material sandwiched between multiple conductive layers. The number of layers and dielectric composition determine the capacitance value and performance characteristics.

Types of MLCCs
1. Class I MLCCs (High Precision & Stability)
Made from low-loss ceramic materials.

Offer high-frequency stability with minimal capacitance change.

Used in RF circuits, oscillators, and precision timing applications.
