Abstract:
1. A capacitor comprising: m electrode plates, where m is an integer greater than two, wherein even ones of said m electrode plates comprise x extensions that extend from a first side thereof and that have a first width, where x is an odd integer that is greater than zero, wherein odd ones of said m electrode plates comprise y extensions that extend from a first side thereof and that have a second width that is less than said first width, where y is an even integer that is greater than one, and wherein said x extensions are located between said y extensions; n first external terminals, where n is equal to x plus y, wherein said x extensions communicate with x of said n first external terminals and wherein said y extensions of said odd ones of said m electrode plates communicate with y of said n first external terminals, wherein said n first external terminals are arranged closer than a predetermined distance from each other, and wherein said predetermined distance corresponds to a predetermined minimum parasitic inductance between said first terminal and said second terminal.
