ABSTRACT:
A composite multilayer capacitive device (10) has a series resistance. A capacitor body (14) is defined by a plurality of interleaved first and second ceramic layers (21, 23) having respective first and second electrode patterns (22, 24) which establish a selectable capacitance. In a first embodiment, the first and second electrode patterns (22, 24) are generally rectangular with protruding interconnect elements (27, 28). In a second embodiment, the first and second electrode patterns (62, 64) are similar to those in the first embodiment, except that the second electrode pattern (64) has no interconnect element and is elongated in order to directly contact the second termination (18). In a third embodiment, the first and second electrode patterns (82, 84) are generally rectangular with first, second, and third protruding interconnect elements (87a-87c, 88a-88c). In the first, second, and third embodiments, a first termination (16) is disposed at a first end (33) of the capacitor body (14) and is connected to the first electrode patterns (22, 62, 82) of the first ceramic layers (21, 61, 81) through a lateral resistive layer (12). A second termination (18) is disposed at a second end (36) of the capacitor body (14) and is connected to the second electrode patterns (24, 64, 84) of the second ceramic layers (23, 63, 83). As a result, the lateral resistive layer (12) serves as a series resistance between the first and second terminations (16, 18).
