#115983 - not a tantalum pi
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Anyway, in your application I would always use a pi-filter at the input of your circuit instead of a simple decoupling cap (even if some caps are paralleled). Because this will heavily enhance the noise filtering performance and provide sufficient inrush current
stating the often overlooked obvious: do not use a tantal at the input to the pi filter, I just use a 100nF at that place.
