Hi all !
The question has already been posted in the topic about my current electronics project, but I guess it is large enough to end here too (to the moderators: please correct me if I'm wrong or violating any forum rule)
So, I was wondering : which is for you the best to chose between an aluminum electrolytic or a tantalum capacitor to put together with a ceramic capacitor for decoupling purposes ?
As said in the project log, I'd prefer the electrolytic capacitor, because it is for me less dangerous for the circuit, my house and myself if something goes wrong with it than with a tantalum capacitor. On the other hand I have to admit that tantalum capacitors use way less space on a circuit board than an electrolytic one.
Your thoughts ?
