Bulk decoupling on a 20 V rail
The TPSE476K020R0125: The 125 mOhm ESR sets the ripple current handling and the voltage ripple under load — for a 100 kHz switching regulator drawing 1 A ripple, the self-heating stays within the package limits, but the ESR dominates the output ripple. The ±10% tolerance is typical for tantalum bulk caps — the ESR is the tighter constraint for decoupling performance.
Active lifecycle and sourcing
Listed as Active by KYOCERA AVX — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window. The TPS series is a general-purpose molded tantalum line, not a low-ESR or high-reliability variant, so the 125 mOhm ESR is the baseline for this voltage and capacitance.
