Hi, i read in this 555 IC projects book;
''If electrolytic capacitors are used, the voltage rating should be about the same as the supply Vcc. An electrolytic capacitor does not become a capacitor until about 0.1 of its voltage rating.''
This is describing selection of Ct for a basic monostable 555.
My question is - is it true electrolytics dont become a capacitor until about 10% of its rated voltage?
