Roy,

We were talking about bypass type ceramics. See the 3/20 10:13AM posting.
BTW, I think with SM you are pretty much forced into using ceramics.

Cornell Dubilier / Waldom makes surace mount siler mico caps. You can
get them from Digikey for under $10 US.

You can get standard PPS film capacitors from several makers. If you
don't mind the fact that they are very touchy and have a higher failure
rate they may be an option. If you want a little better, you can buy the
more costly coated ones.

I wouldn't say that you are forced into using ceramic. It is an option
you may perfer.
