Ceramic capacitors, commonly referred to as MLCCs (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors), are a type of passive electronic component. They are widely used in various applications due to their compact size, reliability, and high-frequency characteristics. The primary function of an MLCC is to store electric charge and regulate voltage levels within a circuit. These capacitors typically consist of alternating layers of ceramic material and metal electrodes, which allow for high capacitance values in a relatively small package.
