Hi all, I am building a circuit using a voltage regulator. the datasheet states a 0.1uF and 0.33uF caps http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0c02/0900766b80c02b34.pdf I have some tantalum polarized caps, just wondering if I can use them or do they need to be non polarized? Would the pos…
