SOFTWARE FOR CALCULATING POWER CAPABILITY FOR MLC CERAMIC CAPACITORS

The power capability of the ceramic MLC capacitor is a rather complex association of design, material, ambient temperature, internal temperature, and frequency. Considering the multiplicity of applications, the number of charts or tables required for all different designs and ratings would be too enormous to effectively translate the required information. If the complexity is reduced for the sake of clarity, sacrifices are made of the unusual circumstances that the designer just happens to require. By breaking the designs down into easily varied relationships, the information can be formulated for any application and design. These relationships can be used to design a software capable of listing performance for the listed devices in any application. TECHNICAL INFORMATIO
