Advantages and disadvantages of MLCC downsizing are discussed in AVX technical papers written by Frank Hodgkinson and Maureen Strawhorne. As integrated circuits (ICs) continue to pack more functionality into smaller packages, the need for bulk off-chip capacitance remains. In resonant circuits, such as phase-lock-loops (PLLs) and switching regulators, precision class one ceramic capacitor may be required.
