Ceramic capacitor value for an LM386N project
I am adding an LM386 to a music project and follow the guidelines in the datasheet:
My Vs is 4.7 V.
My Vin comes straight from a 12 bit DAC of a Cortex M3 MCU and goes from 0 to 3.3 V.
Pin 7 is ...

Does voltage rating increase on ceramic capacitors have any effect on the performance of the capacitor? [duplicate]
If I have a circuit that is designed for a ceramic, SMD, 0402, 1uF, 10%, 10V rated capacitor, and I swap in a ceramic, SMD, 0402, 1uF, 10%, 25V capacitor would anything change in the circuit?
Would ...
