As mentioned on the previous slide, there are four main types of capacitors used in the electronics industry. First are the aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which come in low- to high-voltage, have polarity, and come in very high capacitance values. The package for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is usually an aluminum can. The second type is ceramic, also known as MLCC, and is based on ceramic compounds. MLCCs come in low- to mid-voltage ranges, have no polarity, and have low- to mid-capacitance levels. MLCCs usually come in small SMD packages. The third type is Tantalum capacitors, also known as TC. Tantalum capacitors are based on tantalum and polymer substances, come in low- to mid-voltage ranges, have polarity, and come in low- to mid-capacitance values. Tantalum capacitors also usually come in small to mid-SMD packages. The fourth capacitor type to be covered are film capacitors. Film capacitors are polyester or polypropylene based, come in very high voltage ranges, and very low capacitance values. Film capacitors mostly come as leaded components. Replacing the MLCCs with TC capacitors offers a few advantages, such as lower ESR-improved ripple handling, lower losses, higher tolerance to temperature and DC voltage bias, and board space saving due to package and terminal configuration.
