DC bias vs AC voltage change rate on MLCC capacitors
Prerequisites: calculus, derivatives; E&M, static fields; definition of capacitance.
Consider the construction of a capacitor:
We have two parallel plates (or anything equivalent to them: a roll, ...

DC bias vs AC voltage change rate on MLCC capacitors
You seem to be interpreting the results without considering the test conditions.
Let's start with DC bias test.
The website says the capacitance vs DC bias is measured with 0.5VRMS AC signal (...

Do capacitor packages make a difference in MLCCs?
Ceramic capacitors with dielectrics other than C0G/NP0 are varicaps. Their internal structure as well as dielectric will affect how sensitive their capacitance is to DC voltage bias.
Why is that ...

Do capacitor packages make a difference in MLCCs?
Ceramic capacitors in that value and size are (at best) something like X7 or X5 dielectric, and hence have a large voltage coefficient (as well as temperature coefficient and aging). The capacitance ...

Do capacitor packages make a difference in MLCCs?
It is likely that the capacitors are Class2 ceramic capacitors. The capacitance is voltage dependent. The voltage rating has little effect.
Here is a graph showing this effect from Analog Devices. For ...

DC bias vs AC voltage change rate on MLCC capacitors
From your example case I assume that you are thinking of adding DC and AC bias together, but this is not how it works.
Think of DC bias as a change of charge capacity (like a battery) depending on ...
