Is a cap's ESR value specified at it's resonant freq? I seem to remember seeing some spec sheet for tantalum caps specifying an ESR value at 100KHz. I was trying to model up a power input filter and for the capacitors and I realized that I didn't really understood where the ESR number came from. I wanted to use the ESR at my frequency of interest but that didn't seem right for a cap model. I get that ESL is tied to the package size and pretty well fixed but I 'm not sure about what ESR value to use. Thanks for any input.
