Ceramic capacitors are a type of capacitor that use ceramic materials in their construction, particularly in the dielectric layer. This type of capacitor is commonly used in a variety of electronic applications due to its compact size, relatively low cost, and ability to withstand high temperatures. The MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor) is a specific type of ceramic capacitor that features multiple layers of ceramic material stacked together to achieve higher capacitance values while maintaining a small footprint.
