PSU for Caiman with Pics

[Canetoad]

Cheers Martin,

What about the Oscon? Aren't they very low ESR? Isn't this a good thing in the power supply?

I like Os-Cons and you could try it but it's still an electrolytic so I would expect the polys to be better in this position.

OK, I get it.

Regarding replacing the big smoothing cap, I did this:

I fitted a 22uf 20V Sanyo Os-Con (thanks Mark!) and it works fine and dandy.
No point in using a huge cap following a regulated PSU, all you want is low impedance & the Os-Con will give you that..
