With the continuing supply shortage for multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), designers are being forced to consider alternatives.
| Replacing MLCCs with polymer capacitors The supply shortage of MLCCs that the electronics industry has been experiencing since the end of 2016 is showing no signs of immediate improvement. Caused by the massive growth in mobile electronic devices and automotive electronics, as well as applications in the IoT space, it will take time for suppliers to ramp up production to meet demand. As such, the shortage means that many designers are being forced to consider alternative solutions. In this week's Engineers' Insight we at look one of these solutions; polymer capacitors, and the factors to be considered if you’re thinking about using them as a replacement.
