I have been asked to replace Tantalum bulk capacitor in a design with a
suitable Ceramic capacitor.  The Ceramic capacitor is X5R type, which I
believe is more stable than Y5V.  However, its voltage rating being 6.3V, I
am not feeling very comfortable to use it in the 5V application.  Can
anyone advise me about the minimum voltage rating I should have for a bulk
Ceramic capacitor in a 5V application.
