The TPSF157K010R0200: The 200 mΩ ESR is the figure that governs ripple current handling and self-heating — a 150 µF cap at this ESR can handle roughly 1.2 A ripple at 100 kHz before the internal temperature rise exceeds the derating curve.
No derating needed at 85°C; at 125°C the voltage rating should be derated to 67% per standard tantalum practice.
The equivalent series resistance is 200 mΩ. This determines the ripple current rating — a lower ESR means less self-heating and better filtering performance at high frequencies. For a 150 µF cap at 200 mΩ, the self-resonant frequency is around 900 kHz, making it effective for switching regulator output filtering up to several hundred kHz.
