Duplicate of Why does the LM1117 data sheet specifically specify tantalum capacitors? | |

Point out that my question is about ceramic capacitors, not electrolytic.

| Mar 30, 2021 at 22:59 | comment | added | user31708 | @DmitryGrigoryev Sort of. The first link is about tantalum versus electrolytic capacitors, and does not mention ceramic, which is what my question was about. The second link is pretty close, although it is about a switching regulator rather than an LDO. | |

| Mar 30, 2021 at 7:54 | comment | added | Dmitry Grigoryev | This has been asked many times: Why does the LM1117 data sheet specifically specify tantalum capacitors?, Why do some switching regulator require tantalum or electrolytic capacitors instead of ceramic?, etc. etc. | |

| Mar 29, 2021 at 9:12 | comment | added | LukeHappyValley | Good question, but it has been asked before. You can find some info on this particular site too. There are very few reasons to use tantalum in any design and it's very good that you ask this question before blindly following the datasheet (like a lot of designers do). See electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/199479/… | |
