150 µF bulk cap for a 6.3 V rail — what the ESR tells you
The TPSD157K006R0125: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TPS series, 150 µF at 6.3 V rated voltage with a 125 mOhm ESR. That ESR number is the one that matters for ripple handling: on a 6.3 V rail switching at a few hundred kHz, 125 mOhm keeps the self-heating low enough that the cap doesn't become the hot spot on the board. The ±10% tolerance is tight enough for most decoupling and hold-up roles — you're not tweaking the feedback loop around it.
The D-case 2917 footprint is a common size — if your board already has a D-case tantalum pad, this cap drops in without a layout change.
That operating margin covers engine-bay and avionics thermal cycling without performance drift.
