ctric capacitors change value by as much as
50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating
temperature ranges. If you use a ceramic-chip capacitor
with a Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher
than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same
minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating
temperature range.

The MIC94305 will remain stable with no load. This is
especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive
