There are countless applications requiring the use of MLCCs. The constant downsizing trend of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors make them suitable for leading edge consumer electronics such as smart-phone and ultra-book notebooks. For leading edge applications requiring board space reduction and an increase in component count, TDK can support opportunities to replace existing technologies such as Tantalum Capacitors. In this step-down DC/DC Converter example, it is shown that using MLCCs can achieve a smoother output-voltage-wave in comparison to tantalum capacitors. At the same time, they will provide space saving and superior reliability.
