Ceramic Capacitors in MLCC (Multilayer Chip Capacitor) Configuration A type of capacitor known as a ceramic capacitor, used extensively in electronic circuits due to its compact design and wide range of applications. In the configuration referred to as Multilayer Chip Capacitor (MLCC), it provides high capacitance values within a small physical space. This is achieved through layers of ceramic material sandwiched between two metal plates, allowing for efficient packing density while maintaining electrical performance.
