The TPSV157M016R0045: That ESR figure is the one that governs the ripple current rating — at 45 mOhm, the self-heating under a given ripple stays low enough for the part to handle typical DC-DC converter output filtering without derating to a larger case size.
The ESR is 45 mOhm. This value directly sets the ripple current capability — lower ESR means the capacitor runs cooler under AC ripple, which is critical for output filtering in switching regulators and for extending operational life in high-frequency circuits.
The manufacturer size code is V.
