DC bias effect on capacitance for different capacitor classes Ceramic capacitors made by class 1 dielectrics (COG, u2j, etc.) with temperature compensation are paraelectric ceramics, and the capacitance value will not change much with the applied voltage.
Because other manufacturers use different compositions, the DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors are also different. The electrical design engineer must research the differences in DC bias characteristics among other manufacturers during the component selection phase.
The DC bias characteristics of MLCC’s vary with diferent dielectric temperature coeficients. Ceramic capacitors made by class 1 dielectrics (COG, u2j, etc.) with temperature compensation are paraelectric ceramics, and the capacitance value will not change much with the applied voltage. Class 2 ceramic capacitors built with BaTiO
A quick bench test will reveal how much the capacitance decreases as a result of the applied bias voltage. This will only be linear when using a capacitor with constant capacitance up to 5V bias voltage (MKS, MKT, etc).
The capacitance of Y5V dielectric ceramic capacitors varies greatly with the DC bias voltage. When the capacitance decreases from 100% of the unbiased capacitance to the DC bias voltage under the rated voltage, the percentage of the rated capacitance cannot be obtained.
The DC voltage at the DUT can be checked using a standard voltmeter. From the measured results we see that the capacitance strongly decreases with increasing DC Bias voltage. Furthermore the capacitance does not reach the nominal value of 100 μF at 0 VDC bias. Different capacitor types show different voltage sensitivity.
