A ceramic capacitor is a type of capacitor that utilizes ceramic as the dielectric material. The ceramic dielectric allows for high capacitance values within a compact size, making these capacitors ideal for space-limited applications. Ceramic capacitors come in various shapes and sizes, providing versatility for a range of applications.
Applications Recent advances in material technology and design have allowed multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to extend beyond replacing electrolytic capacitors in output filtering applications.
These are some limitations of ceramic capacitors: They offer less capacitance value to a few microfarads. The dielectric in them can be damaged over high voltages. They may have voltage-dependent capacitance changes. Due to the construction using a ceramic material, there is a risk of cracking or damage in case of mechanical loss.
They have capacitance values in the range of 10pF to 100μF. Ceramic Chip Capacitors: These ceramic chip capacitors are widely used in consumer electronics, communication devices, and also in different digital applications. Ceramic capacitors are categorized into multiple dielectric classes based on the type of dielectric material used.
Class III ceramic capacitors, like Z5U, offer high capacitance but struggle with temperature stability. The diversity in the characteristics of these capacitors makes them a suitable choice for a variety of applications, establishing them as the most used capacitors in today’s circuits.
Disc ceramic capacitors have a simple, disc-shaped design. They consist of a ceramic disc with electrodes on either side. These capacitors are commonly used in low-frequency applications and basic electronic circuits. A multilayer ceramic capacitor consists of multiple layers of ceramic material interleaved with metal electrodes.
