The temperature characteristics of ceramic capacitors are those in which the capacitance changes depending on the operating temperature, and the change is expressed as a temperature coefficient or a capacitance change rate. There are two main types of ceramic capacitors, and the temperature characteristics differ depending on the type. 1.
The Temperature Coefficient of a capacitor is the maximum change in its capacitance over a specified temperature range. The temperature coefficient of a capacitor is generally expressed linearly as parts per million per degree centigrade (PPM/ o C), or as a percent change over a particular range of temperatures.
*2 Maximum operating temperature: By design, maximum ambient temperature including self-heating 20°C MAX that allows continuous use of capacitors. The EIA standard specifies various capacitance temperature factors ranging from 0ppm/°C to −750ppm/°C. Figure 1 below shows typical temperature characteristics.
Some capacitors are linear (class 1 capacitors), these are highly stable with temperatures; such capacitors have a zero temperature coefficient. Generally Mica or Polyester capacitors are examples for the Class 1 capacitors.
1. Temperature-compensating-type multilayer ceramic capacitors (Class 1 in the official standards) This type uses a calcium zirconate-based dielectric material whose capacitance varies almost linearly with temperature. The slope to that temperature is called the temperature coefficient, and the value is expressed in 1/1,000,000 per 1°C (ppm/°C).
Here is a chart on the different classes and definitions: Class III (or written class 3) ceramic capacitors offer higher volumetric efficiency than EIA class II and typical change of capacitance by −22% to +56% over a lower temperature range of 10 °C to 55 °C. They can be substituted with EIA class 2- Y5U/Y5V or Z5U/Z5V capacitors
