Ceramic capacitors come in small packages but that doesn’t mean they’re not capable of large voltages. Successfully creating and designing in HV ceramic capacitors takes great care and discipline. This webinar explores those applications and techniques.
Decoupling and filtering are two of the most common uses of capacitors. It can be tempting to use the two terms interchangeably but in doing so, some of the key elements of usage can be overlooked.

Class 2 capacitors can be divided in: those with a moderate temperature dependence (X7R or 2C1) and others that only a fraction of the capacitance remains at the temperature limits (Z5U or 2F4).
Capacitors with Class 1 ceramic are manufactured with temperature coefficients between +100 and –1500 ppm/°C. In tables and diagrams we will confine ourselves to the type that is called NP0 or COG (0 ± 30 ppm/°C)
The automotive demand is not just for ICs like processors, memories, power, sensors…, passive components such as capacitors are needed to ensure high stability and interference-free designs
Within the electrostatic capacitor family we can distinguish two groups: the organic film capacitors and capacitors with inorganic dielectrics. Capacitors with ceramic materials belong to inorganic dielectrics family
