The other day I decided to yank off some some SMD monolithic ceramic capacitors just to see what all values I could come up with for a lead acid battery charger/desulfator circuit I'm working on. Figured I might try my hand at fabricating my own PCB using SMD components and the caps were to be used for bypassing and what not.
What I recovered blew my mind... I ain't ever seen anything like it. These high performance SMD ceramic caps nowadays in like the 0805 and 1206 packages come in an insane amount of capacitance for their size... like 10uf+. A few of them actually tested 20uf+!
Hell I didn't have a clue they went that high... I actually triple checked my meter against some electrolytics to make sure it was reading correctly.
I wonder how the compare to electrolytics?
