I've been trying to figure out what the differences might be between
large-value (1 to 100uF) chip caps and similarly valued Tantalums. This, of
course, as it pertains to PDS or switch-mode DC-DC converter design.
When/Why might one choose a chip cap over a Tantalum? What are the
advantages/disadvantages in comparison?
I've seen pictures of modern DC-DC modules that seem to use several
large-value chip caps. If that's the case, why did the designer go this
route?
Thank you,
