Bulk decoupling and filtering in a 2312 footprint
The TPSW336M016R0400: This combination suits it for bulk decoupling on power rails and output filtering in DC-DC converters where the ripple current stays within the capacitor's dissipation limit.
Temperature range and derating for reliable operation
Tantalum capacitors require voltage derating — typically 80 % of rated voltage for 16 V parts at 85 °C, dropping further at 125 °C — to avoid surge failures in low-impedance circuits. The ±20 % tolerance is standard for tantalum electrolytics; the actual capacitance at the operating bias voltage will be lower than the nominal 33 µF, so budget margin in timing or filter cutoff calculations.
