SLTA055–FEBRUARY 2006 Input and Output Capacitor …
The minimum ceramic capacitance required to reduce the ripple voltage to 75 mVpp is calculated to be: The plots of ripple voltage in Figure 2 show that the ripple amplitude has been reduced by approximately a factor of four once the calculated ceramic capacitors were added. The 75 mVpp ripple voltage amplitude goal has been achieved.

8.2: Capacitance and Capacitors
Capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values, from just a few picofarads to well in excess of a farad, a range of over 10(^{12}). Unlike resistors, whose physical size relates to their power rating and not their resistance value, the physical size of a capacitor is related to both its capacitance and its voltage rating (a consequence of Equation ref{8.4}.

Calculating Failure in Time (FIT) for Ceramic and Tantalum Capacitors
Changes in applied voltage and temperature will have an effect on the lifetime of individual components. As a baseline, KEMET provides data that can be used with the MIL-HDBK-217 formula to calculate Failures In Time (FIT) for ceramic and tantalum capacitors. Measuring the number of failures over time provides a failure rate (λ).
high frequency
I have been doing a bit research on ceramic capacitors, as I need one for the output of my synchronous buck converter. And as its very common that ESR is not straight forwardly given in the data sheets, we have to calculate it ourselves by Dissipation Factor value given at a certain frequency (normally 120 Hz) for a certain capacitance value.

A ceramic capacitor is a fixed-value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric. It is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes. The composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behavior and therefore applications. Ceramic capacitors are divided into two application classes:
