In the problem I have in mind, the tant is supplied via a P-channel FET which has a slugging cap across gate-drain with a pull-up resistor gate-source to ensure turn-off. There is no other series resistance.
Measurements seem to indicate that there isn't a huge inrush current, but something is...
Anyone have any information / experience relating to tantalum capacitors failing short? Anything on manufacturing process or circuit transients causing the failure would be greatly appreciated.
