[SI-LIST] Electrolytic capacitors

Dear All,

I use Electrolytic capacitors to cater the voltage dip .

I assume there shouldnt be a problem increasing the number of
capacitors to meet the total capacitance requirement.

Does the lead inductance of an electrolytic capacitor has any role to play.

Hence my assumption is if i use 3 capacitors / 7 capacitors for
example on the supply planes , it doesnt make a difference. Or is
there complications.

Please can anyone clarify.

Also for an aluminium electrolytic cap, is there a way to calculate
the ESR value if it is not not given by the manufacturer?


Cheers
Vivek.
