Capacitance
Engaged in electronic circuit design and development, both with years of experience veteran, also joined the Road novice. Everyone MCU, DSP, embedded systems put a lot of time and energy to study, but for the most widely used circuit design, the most widely used components - capacitors, how many people can do is very clear? And this is one of many novice doubt, in the face of many capacitor types: tantalum, aluminum electrolytic, monolithic, film, ceramics, paper-like, a variety of packages: patch, pin, box , irregular, etc., in different application areas: decoupling, filtering, high frequency, low frequency, resonance, switching power supply applications, if you can make the right choice? I suggest that you be more complementary, learn from each other on the one hand, on the other hand is a help for the novice. Next initiate some quotes from the article to other sites, (the site name has not remember, now its gratitude)

Monolithic capacitor biggest drawback is the high temperature coefficient, so the stability of the oscillator drift is intolerable, and we do a 555 oscillator capacitor in 7805 just next boot, using the oscilloscope to see the frequency, seeing it slowly change, later replaced by polyester capacitors much better.
Monolithic capacitor characteristics:
Large capacity, small size, high reliability, electric capacity and stability, moisture resistance and good high temperature.
Applications:
Widely used in electronic precision instruments. A variety of small electronic devices for resonance, coupling, filtering, bypass.
Capacity range:
0.5PF - 1UF
Pressure: twice the rated voltage.
Which said that only stone known as multilayer ceramic capacitors, two types, type 1
Performance is very good, but the capacity is small, generally less than 0.2U, another call
Type II, large capacity, but performance in general.
Just drift in terms of:
Monolithic about positive temperature Shito number +130, CBB negative temperature coefficient of -230, used in parallel with an appropriate proportion, can drift down to very small.
In terms of price:
Tantalum, niobium capacitors expensive, monolithic, CBB cheaper, tiles minimum, but a kind of high-frequency zero point drift black tiles a little expensive. High Q value mica capacitors, but also slightly more expensive.
