Question for any EEs (or former EEs, or other knowledgeable persons on the list): What are the reasons to use electrolytics versus chip caps in a circuit like this? I'm gonna take a guess and say the capacitance required wasn't available in a chip cap 13 years ago when the IIci and SE/30 were in development, but what are the other issues (frequency, ripple currents, etc.) ? If you were designing the circuit now, what would be your reasons for spec'ing chip caps instead of electrolytics, or vice versa? -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
