With the continuing supply shortage for multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), designers are being forced to consider alternatives. In this article, we will look at the factors to be considered if you’re thinking about using polymer capacitors as a replacement. There has been a supply shortage of MLCCs since the end of 2016 and there are no signs of immediate improvement.
