I could not disagree more with using tantalum caps for timming
circuits. A friend of mine who is the best analog engineer i know,
has been designing industrial electronics for 35 years. When other
engineers fail on a project my friend is the one they call in. When
talking about tantalums one day he told me never to use them for
timming circuits as they will drift over time.
