#137065 - Ceramic instead of Tantalum? ESR?
I'm using a Linear Technology LTC2493 (A-D Converter). It recommends the use of a 10uF Tantalum capacitor along with a 0.1uF ceramic. Are there any potential negative side effects to using a 10uF ceramic instead of the tant?

Also, I have a regulator that requires a 10uF output cap with ESR between 4 and 500 milli-ohm to remain stable. Why do high capacitance ceramics not specify ESR?

Thanks,
Tomas

   a nice paper related to the topic            01/01/70 00:00      
      Ceramic it is, but..            01/01/70 00:00      
         LDO regs and ESR            01/01/70 00:00      
            naah, just know-how            01/01/70 00:00      
            Odd            01/01/70 00:00      
               It\\\'s because of chip design            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Good Idea! But...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     It's not my original idea            01/01/70 00:00      
   Y5V preferred            01/01/70 00:00      
      Still out of stable region at low frequency            01/01/70 00:00      
         Only the ESR minimum of cap is what counts            01/01/70 00:00
