Trying to maximize efficiency for an LED driver I'm building, and I'm looking for the lowest possible ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors.
In the past I have used the panasonic ECJ series capacitors, which are "low ESR" caps, but they do not actually give a value. I have been looking through as many datasheets as I can, but I'm on a very poor connection right now in the middle of the frozen north at work, so it's hard to view a ton of PDF files.
Often the datasheets don't even mention ESR, which I find to be quite useless.
Does anybody know of any documentation comparing capacitors for use in DC/DC converters that makes mention of their ESR ratings? I really want to find the best ones possible, without going insane on price. Seems to be tough information to dig up.
Thanks in advance!
