Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Grogster, All,

  Grogster said   Ceramic IS preferred, provided it is at least X5R type.

use ceramic MLC's on all my boards, with the cap as close to the Vcap pin as possible.


Not by me its not... My preference is the 47uf 6v3 Low ESR 3225 or 3216 SMD type.

Kind Regards,

Mick

47uF tantalum?

Why do you prefer that over the cheaper more reliable ceramic?

Actually, I would be interested to know that too, Mick.....
