Support Note SN011: Why does the capacity of MLCCs change?  

Why does the capacity of MLCCs change? Ambient temperature, structural changes or component tolerances play an important role. This document provides an overview of the most important factors, how these can be reduced by using a different material or external influences

Application Note ANP062: LC Filter Design With MLCCs: Why The Applied Voltage Matters  

How does the DC voltage influence the behavior of an capacitor, and hence the filter design? Simulated and measured results are compared with different components and materials.

Application Note ANP109: Impedance Spectra of Different Capacitor Technologies  

Impedance and capacitance spectra are common representations of frequency dependent electrical properties of capacitors. The interpretation of such spectra provides a wide range of electrochemical, physical and technical relevant information and need to be separated from the ever-present measurement artifacts as well as parasitic effects.

Application Note ANP114 Voltage and Frequency Dependence of Ferroelectric Class 2 Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors  

After introducing ferroelectricity, a mathematical model for the capacitance-voltage behavior of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) is derived from a dipole polarization model. The parameters of the model are reduced to two fitting parameters.

MLCC - Soft Termination  

In the MLCCs - Soft Termination (WCAP-CSST) series, a layer of conductive polymer is used between the electrodes and the terminal surfaces. The polymer can compensate for certain mechanical deformations and therefore reduce the probability of fractures. This is illustrated by a bending test described in the data sheet.
