Ceramic capacitor monolithic capacitors from multiple angles

Ceramic capacitors and monolithic capacitors are capacitors that are used at a high frequency, and have attracted the attention and favor of everyone in the development process. There are certain differences between these two capacitors from different perspectives. What the editors want to analyze next is the difference between the two. Everyone can choose the right capacitor based on their advantages.

The ceramic capacitor uses a thin ceramic film made of silver on both sides of the metal film. Its advantages are small size, high pressure resistance, low price, high frequency (there is a kind of high-frequency capacitance), relatively speaking, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages of ceramic capacitors are fragile! Low capacity. It is often used in high-frequency oscillations, resonances, decoupling, and acoustics.

Ceramic capacitors are molded with ceramic powder and then sintered. (Ceramics are divided into Class I Porcelain, Class II Porcelain, Class III Porcelain) Monolithic Porcelain Single Layer Structure, General Button Size with Two Leads. Because of the single-layer structure, ceramic capacitors are generally small but have high voltage. The MLCC capacitor multilayer structure is often as many as several tens of layers inside an MLCC or even more. Each single layer is equivalent to a capacitor, and tens of layers are equivalent to tens of capacitors in parallel. So MLCC capacity is very large, but the voltage is not high. Surface mount packages are generally used.

The monolithic capacitor is smaller than the CBB. Others, like the CBB, are often used for analog, digital circuit signal bypass, filtering, and acoustics. Monolithic capacitors are a variation of MLCCs. Soldering two leads on the MLCC is encapsulated with epoxy. The ceramic capacitor has a small volume, a wide temperature coefficient range, a small dielectric loss, a small leakage, and moisture resistance. Disadvantages: Small capacity, poor mechanical strength. Monolithic capacitors have a large capacity and are suitable for low frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are suitable for high frequencies. Can be replaced.

The above content is a multi-angle view of ceramic capacitors and monolithic capacitors. By comparing the two, is there any understanding of which type of capacitor is more advantageous?
