Re: gEDA-user: ESR of 2.2u ceramic capacitor

Hello

Does anyone has experience how much ESR a modern 2.2u ceramic capacitor
can have? Less than 200mOhm?

The last time I checked, ESR was the sum of in-phase AC resistance. In modern times (Like right now...)
it is used to measure the quality of a capacitor: In other words, there is no such thing as a statitiscal mean
or medium for the ESR of a typical modern capacitor - Regardless if the capacitor in question is a ceramic
or electrolytic or otherwise.


You need to refer to the data sheet for the capacitor in question to get this information.
