The standard unit of capacitance is the farad. For practical capacitors, capacitance is usually expressed in microfarads (10 -6 farad), nanofarads (10 -9 farad), or picofarads (10 -12 farad). Standard measurement conditions are listed in Table 3 Specified Electrical Limits. Like all other practical capacitors, multilayer ceramic capacitors also have resistance and inductance. A simplified schematic for the single frequency equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 1. At high frequency more complex models apply see KEMET SPICE models at www.kemet.com for details.
