what is better cap to use across power soruce, mylar, ceramic, elettrolitic ertc

The choice of capacitor type across the power source depends on the specific requirements for noise filtering, stability, and the size constraints of your project. Here's a quick overview of common capacitor types and their typical use in power supply decoupling:
-
Ceramic Capacitors:
- Use case: Most commonly used for decoupling and bypassing at high frequencies.
- Advantages: Excellent high-frequency characteristics, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance, stable capacitance over a range of temperatures and voltages.
- Suggested Values: Typically 0.1 µF to 1 µF, but larger values like 10 µF are also common.
-
Electrolytic Capacitors:
- Use case: Commonly used for bulk storage and filtering at lower frequencies.
- Advantages: High capacitance values in small packages, suitable for smoothing out large current variations.
- Disadvantages: Higher ESR and less effective at high frequencies compared to ceramics.
- Suggested Values: Typically 10 µF to 1000 µF depending on the application.
-
Tantalum Capacitors:
- Use case: Similar to electrolytic capacitors but with better stability and performance at higher frequencies.
- Advantages: Lower ESR than electrolytic capacitors, more stable over temperature and frequency ranges.
- Disadvantages: More expensive and can be sensitive to over-voltage conditions.
- Suggested Values: Typically in the range of a few µF to a few hundred µF.
-
Mylar (Polyester) Capacitors:
- Use case: Often used where precise, stable capacitance is needed.
- Advantages: Good stability, low leakage current, and can handle higher voltages.
- Disadvantages: Larger physical size for the same capacitance compared to ceramics.
- Suggested Values: Often small values, such as a few nF to a few µF.
Recommendation for Power Supply Decoupling:
- For high-frequency decoupling (closer to the IC): Use ceramic capacitors, typically 0.1 µF to 1 µF.
- For bulk capacitance (smoothing): Use electrolytic or tantalum capacitors, typically 10 µF to 100 µF or higher.
-
Connect a 1 µF ceramic capacitor across the power source for high-frequency decoupling:
- Connect Capacitor1:1 (positive) to U1:12 $3V3$.
- Connect Capacitor1:2 (negative) to U1:13 $GND$.
-
Connect a 47 µF electrolytic capacitor across the power source for bulk capacitance:
- Connect Capacitor2:1 (positive) to U1:12 $3V3$.
- Connect Capacitor2:2 (negative) to U1:13 $GND$.
Feel free to tweak these values based on your specific requirements, such as ripple voltage, power consumption, and physical space constraints.
