A capacitor that consists of thin dielectric layers interleaved with staggered metal-film electrodes; after leads are connected to alternate projecting ends of the electrodes, the assembly is compressed and sintered to form a solid monolithic block. -From http://www.answers.com/topic/monolithic-ceramic-capacitor?cat=technology

Monolithic capacitor is another name for multilayer ceramic capacitor, abbreviated as MLCC. It mainly includes three parts: ceramic dielectric, metal internal electrode and metal outer electrode. The multilayer chip ceramic capacitor is a multi-layer laminated structure. Simply put, it is a parallel body of multiple simple parallel plate capacitors.

What is use of decoupling capacitor?
to protect a circuit from damaging
Difference between ceramic and electrolytic capacitors?
In ceramic capacitors the dielectric is a thin layer of ceramic and both plates are metal foil. These capacitors are unpolarized. These capacitors have negligible internal inductance or resistance.In electrolytic capacitors the dielectric is an ultra thin layer of corrosion on the surface of a metal foil plate and the other plate is an electrolyte paste. These capacitors are polarized and if connected backwards are likely to explode. These capacitors have significant internal inductance, making them bad filters of noise in the MHz range and above which requires ceramic capacitors.
Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?
Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.
What is the functions of ceramic capacitor?
Ceramic capacitors can be used anywhere a capacitor having very low internal parasitic inductance is required. Most commonly they are used as powersupply bypass capacitors. They are also sometimes used for coupling capacitors for HF signal amplifiers.
Is capacitor polarity sensitive?
Some capacitors are polarity sensitive; some are not. It depends on the design. Electrolytic capacitors, for instance, are polarity sensitive, while ceramic disc capacitors are not. You can generally tell, if the capacitor is marked with polarity signs, such as + and -, if it is or not.
What is the difference between monolithic ceramic and mutilayer ceramic capacitors?
Ceramic Multilayer vs Monolithic CapacitorBoth multilayer and monolithic capacitors have multiple layers. The main difference between the two is the manufacturing process. Monolithic capacitors have a paste of ceramic material applied between the conductive layers. After this paste is applied the capacitors are then baked. Multilayer capacitors have the ceramic material sprayed onto the conductive layers. This generally means that monolithic capacitors can't go as high in capacitance because the amount of layers is limited due to their manufacturing process.
What is the use or ceramic capacitor?
ceramic capacitor does not simultaneously discharges instead it maintains stead flow of charges through it
Can you replace ceramic capacitor with a polyester?
yes ceramic can be replaced by polyester
Can monolithic capacitors be used as a substitute for ceramic?
ceramic capacitors are usually monolithic. monolithic has more physical stability with a solid electrolyte film capacitors multilayer (paper and tinfoil) dont have as stable a dimension if you are trying to make an RC oscillator monolithic has a stable frequency
What is an unpolarized capacitor?
A capacitor that does not have a designated + and - side. Electrolytic capacitors are usually polarized. Ceramic capacitors are not.
How do capacitors classified?
capacitors are classified on the basis of dielectric material used inside it. For example the electrolytic capacitor consist electrolyte as dielectric mica capacitor consist mica as dielectric between plates and ceramic capacitor consist ceramic as dielectric.
What is the response of ceramic capacitor in MHz and GHz Range frequencies?
That depends on the value of the capacitor and other components in the circuit.
A capacitor with lowest leakage is Paper or Ceramic or Polyester or Mica?
mica
What is use of decoupling capacitor?
to protect a circuit from damaging
Why it is necessary to connect ceramic disc capacitor across filter capacitor?
The filter capacitor has inductance and is therefore not very responsive to short term transients, i.e. fast rising or falling current edges. The ceramic disk capacitor, on the other hand, has very little inductance, and therefore is very responsive to short term transients. It is normal "best practices" to connect a small ceramic disk capacitor at each IC's Vcc terminal while also using bulk capacitance in the power supply and at various other places. For the same reason, you want a ceramic disc at the main filter capacitor in the power supply.
What is the number 475 on a ceramic capacitor?
encoded capacitor value in picofarads:47, digits5, zeros following digits4700000 pF or 4.7 µF
