One problem with using low ESR caps is that some regulators depend upon the ESR for stability. > The plan is to replace all the electrolytic and tantalum caps since the > ones that are now OK may fail in the near future. Why replace the tantalums? Do they dry out like electrolytics? I poked around a bit and found a couple of web pages that said no-problems, but both specifically referred to solid tantalums. Are there versions using a liquid? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
