Tantalums. What is this. •look nicer on boards LOL!
I've had to make the hard decision as to what type of capacitors to use in a power supply I've been designing. I need a 5.0v, 3.3v, 1.9v and 1.2v rails powered by a 12v adaptor. The 5.0v and 3.3v rails use a DC/DC switching regulator while the 1.9v and 1.2v use... #capacitors #ceramic #Electronics
so what it is tantalum. or tantalum capacitor.
first, it has more value of ESR vs ordinary electrolitic. if you take 10uF tantalum that is equavalent in x2x3 times more
than ordinary electrolitic - so 10uF tantalum is like 100uF ordinary electrolitic.
the advantage is huge and obvious.
