Figure 1-11. DC bias dependencies of ceramic capacitors and cored-inductors
Temperature:
Most types of components are temperature dependent. The temperature coefficient is an important
specification for resistors, inductors and capacitors. Figure 1-12 shows some typical temperature
dependencies that affect ceramic capacitors with different dielectrics.
Other dependency factors:
Other physical and electrical environments, e.g., humidity, magnetic fields, light, atmosphere, vibra-
tion, and time may change the impedance value. For example, the capacitance of a high-K type
dielectric ceramic capacitors decreases with age as shown in Figure 1-13.
