Now that you can get high-ish (even 22uF and more!) capacitance inexpensive ceramics, there's no need for tantalums. Well, yeah, I regularly use ceramics up to 100µF. Their small size, very low ESR, (relative) insensitivity to temperature, their being non-polarised and their ability to withstand electrical abuse like surge currents and overvoltage make them an ideal choice for most of the devices I design. You do have to be aware that, for some circuits, their ESR can actually be too small and can cause loop instability! Rob. |
