Whitepaper: A Brief Introduction to High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors
Chapter 1: High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors High voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors (HVMLCC) are discussed from the standpoints of how they function, their internal and external design, the materials used, and important factors to consider for your applications and your respective high voltage circuit designs. Surface mount high voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) appear to be pretty much identical to standard configuration MLCCs. They have the same basic form, fit and function, but there are several key differences. For the purposes of this paper, as a matter of definition, high voltage MLCCs have rated voltages that are greater than or equal
