Abstract
Disclosed are apparatus and a method for providing an integrated multiterminal multilayer ceramic device that has three or more capacitive elements. Two of such capacitive elements may be in series, with a third in parallel. The integrated device may be packaged as an overmolded three leaded component, or can be mounted as SMD (surface mount device). The integrated device may also be combined with a separate varistor in a stacked arrangement of leaded components.
