Ceramic Capacitor Voltage Effect - Workbench Wednesdays

Ceramic capacitors change capacitance with applied voltage, temperature, and age. They are the most popular electronic component, yet many do not understand what causes this capacitance to change. In this video, James teams up with Murata to see what happens to a simple timer circuit when changing a capacitor from a 1206 case size to a much smaller 0201: bit.ly/2TPD3Sx

After watching the video, test your knowledge on downsizing MLCCs with this short quiz: bit.ly/389GhsA

Well said sir. Looking forward to more explanations.

Thanks for this video. I've never hard of DC bias until I watched this video. Just a correction to the size of an 0201 part. In the video at 2:11 it was stated that the size is 0.2in x 0.1in. It is actually 0.02in x 0.01in.

Nice!! Knowledge test!

[@electronic7979]

Helpful video. I liked it

[@guitarshred863]

good morning sir , May I have a quick question? i have cassette recorder ,A Sony cassette recorder. the ceramic capacitor -823K is hard to find, what can I use as a neartest substitute? thank you and more power to you and your channel.

[@pratikshabansode217]

Awesome 😊

[@SlinkyStoney]

Thanks

[@alessandrolima4266]

Great !!!

[@sarathtnv925]

can we get a 1HZ clock signal accurately using 555 astable mode? If not how to get a accurate 1HZ clk signal ? please provide me the circuit . Thank you :)

the worst part about 0201 is getting solder paste on. I have a client who has 2 0201s on his board and will not buy a stencil, such a pain in the ass without a stencil.

[@MAYERMAKES]

I always use 0603...just necsuse

[@gyrgrls]

So, what's the best value of 0201 cap to replace a varactor?

[@JohnUsp]

You should change your name to "Bald RESEARCHER Engineer", excellent video, thanks.

[@shawnmichaelis1609]

i think you mean mm not in when explaining the sizes

[@bald_engineer]

Ceramic capacitors are generally specified in imperial units. So I meant inches in this case.

[@muffenme]

I don't like surface components because they are harder to work with even though they make projects smaller.
