    Replace electrolytics with different type capacitors?

    Rather than replace blown electrolytic capacitors with the same type, is it practical to replace these with more expensive but maybe more stable / less noisy types of capacitors like ceramic, tantalum, or other types?

    i dont think you will find tantalum or ceramic in so big values. for superior replacement you could use a polymer capacitor like sanyo os-con.

      And for replace3ment of lytics with polymers you only need use 1/2 the orig uF value. Other polymer alternatives include Sanyo OS-Con, Fujitsu RE (not recommended), Illinois Capacitor AFD & AFX, and Chemicon NP-Cap. (correct me if I'm wrong on any of these)
      The great capacitor showdown!

        by electronx
        Hi everyone,

        I’m currently learning about the USB protocol and designing a project, but I’ve encountered a few questions that I couldn’t find clear answers to. I’d really appreciate your input!

        1. USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 with SuperSpeed Type-A Connector
        According to the USB 3.2 specification, it states that USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 can support a SuperSpeed Type-A connector. This raises a question:

        If we use a SuperSpeed Type-A connector, the system would only utilize 1 lane for data transfer, leaving 1 lane from the host unused. Is this configuration valid,...
