Abstract:
1. A multilayer chip capacitor capable of tuning capacitance, comprising: a capacitor body where a plurality of dielectric layers are laminated; a plurality of pairs of first and second internal electrodes arranged alternately such that the internal electrodes of different polarities oppose each other, while interposing a corresponding one of the dielectric layers in the capacitor body; and a plurality of pairs of first and second external electrodes formed on a surface of the capacitor body, wherein the first and second internal electrodes comprise a plurality of groups each including at least one pair of the first and second internal electrodes, and the first and second internal electrodes of each of the groups are connected to the pairs of the first and second external electrodes different from one another, respectively, wherein a corresponding one of the pairs of the first and second external electrodes is selectively connected to power lines so that the multilayer chip capacitor has at least two different capacitances.
