Can you clarify one thing for me: When I studied datasheets for these it looked like they drop 50% of their capacitance at a DC voltage of 10-20V.
Doesn't that make them a so-so bargain for power supply bulk capacitance ?
Poul-Henning, Pls. check the spec for dielectric material. X5R is automotive grade, interior applications (up to 85°C) ; X7R would be engine applications (>= 125°C). Those ceramics don't have such high detoriation of cap vs. T and V. For example, Y5V is commercial application range and might have such problems.
