Product details

22 µF, 16 V, 150 mOhm ESR — the ripple-current ceiling

The 150 mOhm ESR sets the ripple-current limit: at 100 kHz, the self-heating from ripple current is I² × ESR, so the allowable ripple current is roughly 1.2 A RMS before the part exceeds the 125°C max operating temperature. For a 5 V rail with 50 mV p-p ripple, this capacitor handles the output filter duty without exceeding its thermal budget.

At 125°C, the leakage current rises and the capacitance may drift by up to 10% from the 25°C value — budget this into the derating for a 3.3 V rail.

Frequently asked questions

Is TPSC226M016R0150 a good replacement for TPSD226M016R0150?

The TPSD226M016R0150 uses a larger D case (7343 metric) versus the C case (6032 metric) of the TPSC226M016R0150. The D case typically has lower ESR and higher ripple-current capability. They are not pin-compatible — the footprint differs. Check the board layout before substituting.

What is the capacitance tolerance and voltage rating of TPSC226M016R0150?

The capacitance is 22 µF with ±20% tolerance, and the rated voltage is 16 V. For a 5 V rail, this provides 68% derating; for a 3.3 V rail, 79% derating — both well within the 50% derating guideline for tantalum capacitors in low-impedance circuits.
