Voltage coefficient for class ii ceramic capacitors.
Voltage coefficient of ceramic capacitors.
To test safe construction.
Vcc or voltage coefficient of capacitance is a decrease in capacitance under applied dc voltages that happens in in classii and class iii mlccs.

At 85 c with 0v bias the capacitance decreases by 68 14 from 4 7µf to 1 5µf.
Vcc is a result of the contruction of the mlcc.
Biasing this 6 3v rated capacitor with 5 volts will result in a capacitance that is 14 times smaller than nominal.
I noted that the dielectric structure of a class ii ceramic capacitor can be envisioned as a collection of domains with internal dipoles that change alignment in response to an applied ac voltage.
Parasitics and capacitor selection part viii.
Factors that influence vcc.
Vcc is often noticed while operating close to the rated voltage of the mlcc or where high capacitance is needed in the circuit.

Please note that among ceramic capacitors the capacitance especially of capacitors classified as high dielectric constant b x5r r x7r characteristic may differ from the nominal value when a dc voltage is applied.
