Q.
Does polarity affect the allowable ripple current of MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors)?
  • Kondensatoren
    • >
  • Keramik-Vielschichtkondensatoren (MLCC)

A. MLCCs have no polarity so they are different from electrolytic capacitors in that there are no changes in the allowable ripple current.
