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.
