Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitors
Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitors
Introduction
SAMWHA's series of multilayer ceramic(MLC) chip capacitors is designed to meet a wide variety of need.
Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors are available in both class I and class II formulations. Temperature
compensation formulations are class I and temperature stable and general application formulations are
classified at class II. The class I multilayer ceramic capacitors are COG with negligible dependence of
electrical properties on temperature, voltage, frequency. The most of commonly used class II dielectric are
X7R, X5R and Y5V. The X7R provides intermediate capacitance values which vary

Y5V
The Hi-K(Y5V) dielectrics deliver high capacitance density and are ideally suited for applications where space is at a
premium, or as replacement for tantalum capacitors. Typically applications include use as by-pass or decoupling elements.
Best performance is obtained at or near room temperature, with low DC bias.
