that is pretty bad, but not a murata issue, vishas has a short doc on MLCCs http://www.vishay.com/docs/40144/capchange.pdf

Yep, it's a matter of high dielectric constant materials. Standard for Z5U[*], unexpected for X7R-types. The subject carpacitor(tm) was X5R, but looks more like Z5U than X7R. I'm looking at a few mfrs' offerings to see if anyone's dielectric is better... (*)(e.g. http://www.yageo.com/documents/recent/UPY-GPHC_Y5V_6.3V-to-50V_5.p= df) -- Cheers, James Arthur

It's like a tantalum cap rated for X volts, with recommendation to never use it at X volts. (I actually use tantalum caps at rated voltage *if* there's not much charging current available. Otherwise, X/3 is about right.) -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc jlarkin at highlandtechnology dot com http://www.highlandtechnology.com Precision electronic instrumentation Picosecond-resolution Digital Delay and Pulse generators Custom laser drivers and controllers Photonics and fiberoptic TTL data links VME thermocouple, LVDT, synchro acquisition and simulation

--- Actually, I think what's being commented on is the unexpected tolerance of the capacitance of the cap rather than the cap's likelihood of failure as a function of charging current/terminal voltage. -- JF
Yuck.  Graph straight off the ceramic's D-E curve (compare: B-H curve), 
the derivative that is.  Only thing they don't show is hysteresis, which 
is bound to be comparable.

They need to start putting some air gap into those suckers!

Now when i tried to look at the PDF, my Adobe 9.0 wanted an "upgrade" by adding Japanese font. I said no, and got essentially blank pages. So, i retried, said yes and everything was there. Drawings, graphs, etc have NOTHING to do with Japanese, and only English was used. WTF??????????????? Crapadobe.

--- You found a workaround, got what you wanted, and then cursed the source which fed you because they didn't have a silver spoon? That's disgraceful. -- JF

What we're talking about is whether you can, in real life situations, actually use an X volt rated cap at X volts. Have you appointed yourself to be a net-cop on-topic thread-drift enforcer, or do you just try to find a reason to whine about anything that I post? Got anything useful to say about capacitors? Are you even interested in capacitors? -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc jlarkin at highlandtechnology dot com http://www.highlandtechnology.com Precision electronic instrumentation Picosecond-resolution Digital Delay and Pulse generators Custom laser drivers and controllers Photonics and fiberoptic TTL data links VME thermocouple, LVDT, synchro acquisition and simulation
