A Cautionary Capacitor Tale

I checked the datasheet for the 10µF 0805 MLCC I'm using, and there is nothing about capacitance vs. voltage :frowning:

That why the article stated you must seek out the 'detailed information' that would contain information on voltage variation.

Yeah, saw that, thought I'd check a few. Didn't find any capacitance vs. voltage info in datasheets from several manufacturers. Sounds like information that is only divulged on request. I'd say this is a dirty little secret of the MLCC manufacturers.
