    capacitors

    Hi guys, im having trouble finding a 560uF Capacitor rated at 1.4Arms ripple, cant find anything close at Farnell. Panasonic ones dont come close. Should I just use a higher capacitance or are the parts out there?

    What is this for? If it's just a filter, then any old electrolytic capacitor of similar value will do.

    yeah its on the output of a TI ISR, but the data sheet is very specific, just wondered if it was for any good reason...

    I'm not familiar with that IC, but if the datasheet is VERY SPECIFIC then you might want to stand by the original value. Some datasheets are a little more specific than necessary though...If it's just a filter, don't worry. If it does something else, try to get the exact value.

    Its OK, for a minute I htought I was going to have to pay a fortune for em, but now I've found some similar ones on the Farnell website that should be suitable... thanks for your help anyway.
