100 µF, 16 V, 100 mOhm ESR — bulk decoupling fit
The TPSE107M016R0100: The 100 mOhm ESR is the figure that governs ripple current handling and self-heating — lower ESR means the cap can absorb more AC ripple without exceeding its internal temperature rise, which directly affects reliability in power rail filtering. The 2917 (7343 Metric) case and E size code are standard for this capacitance-voltage combination; the footprint is shared across multiple AVX tantalum families, so a layout designed for a TPS E-case will also accept other AVX E-case parts if a second-source is needed.
Temperature range and deployment context
Surface-mount 2917 package means it reflows with standard solder profiles; no special handling beyond typical moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for molded tantalums. The tape-and-reel packaging (cut tape option) suits both prototype and production volumes.
The part is widely stocked across the supply chain — typical for a mainstream TPS-series tantalum — but availability is verified per request.
