Attached are photos of the assembled unit. I'm starting off with 10 uF tantalum for Cin and Cout at the location of the VRM.
Will test and determine if I need to add some caps in the nanofarad range for Cout in the centre region. Not exactly sure what the ideal values would be, but some options for the 4x centre Cout capacitors:
a)
ceramic 10 nF
ceramic 47 nF
ceramic 100 nF
ceramic 220 nF
b)
tantalum 10 uF
ceramic 47 nF
ceramic 100 nF
tantalum 470 nF
c)
ceramic 47 nF
tantalum 150 nF
tantalum 220 nF
tantalum 330 nF
The caps on this Opteron185, for example, are all ceramics in the 47-470 nF range.
