Best Answer

ceramic capacitors are usually monolithic.

monolithic has more physical stability with a solid electrolyte

film capacitors multilayer (paper and tinfoil) dont have as stable a dimension

if you are trying to make an RC oscillator monolithic has a stable frequency

As long as maximum values such as voltage/temperature rating are not exceeded, then yes.

Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?

Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.


What is the functions of ceramic capacitor?

Ceramic capacitors can be used anywhere a capacitor having very low internal parasitic inductance is required. Most commonly they are used as powersupply bypass capacitors. They are also sometimes used for coupling capacitors for HF signal amplifiers.


How do capacitors classified?

capacitors are classified on the basis of dielectric material used inside it. For example the electrolytic capacitor consist electrolyte as dielectric mica capacitor consist mica as dielectric between plates and ceramic capacitor consist ceramic as dielectric.


How ceramic capacitors can do filtering in replacement of electrolytic capacitors?

Electrolytic capacitors do a very good job of bulk filtering, but they have poor high frequency performance due to distributed inductance. The ceramic capacitor has excellent high frequence response, and will often be used in parallel to the electrolytic to filter out fast rise time step changes in current demand.


What is a monolithic IC?

A monolithic IC is a type of "integrated circuit" electronic device (commonly referred to as a "chip") that contains active and passive devices (transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors) that are made in and on the surface of a single piece of a single crystal semiconductor, such as a Silicon (Si) wafer. A process called "planar technology" must be used in the single block (monolith), and be interconnected to the insulating layer over the same body of the semiconductor to produce a solid integral monolithic-IC. If the devices are interconnected by bonding wires dangling above the chip, is not a monolithic-IC; it is a hybrid-IC. In monolithic-ICs, the devices (transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors) are fabricated on the same single chip of a single Silicon crystal by PLANAR technology, and have ISOLATED p-n junctions, and have interconnections adherent to the insulator layers without shorting to the adjacent areas and each other.


Why only electrolytic capacitors are used for filter dc?

high capacitance better filtering, electrolytics have high capacitance per volume. however electrolytic have some parasitic inductance, so many small ceramic capacitors are distributed on cards near ICs as a final "cleanup" filter and switching noise suppressor.


What is a monolithic entity?

A monolithic entity is a type of integrated circuit used in electrical engineering. It has both active and passive devices.


What is monolithic ic?

An IC or integrated circuit consists of a chip ("die") and plastic or ceramic packaging to protect the die from mechanical and (some) electrical damage. An IC with more than one die is usually called a "hybrid" IC. A "monolithic" IC is just a plain old one-die IC, but it implies that functions from a number of ICs have been incorporated into that one IC. One form of monolithic IC is where the functions of a powerful graphics processor is put on the same die as a CPU. An SOC ("System On a Chip") is another trend in monolithic ICs. "Monolithic" is something of a transitional term. Floating point, memory management, and processing units all used to to be on separate ICs. Now they are all on the same IC, but we don't call them "monolithic" any more.


Does table fans have capacitors?

The capacitors used in table fans is to start its induction motor.


Which type of dielectric is used most often in variable capacitors?

The type of dielectric most often used in variable capacitors is air. Also, trimmer capacitors often use mica.


What is built from monolithic material?

Monolithic materials are inflatable structures. They are composed of nylon coated with PVC. They can also be polyester based. The standard form of a monolithic structure is a dome. These domes can be used for any structural purpose or design.
