The electrolytic capacitor acts as a snubber in parallel with the ceramic capacitors. If one were to design an RC snubber to dampen the LC circuit, it would have a large capacitance (compared to the ceramic), and some series resistance. An electrolytic capacitor can provide both. Its ESR works as the resistance for the snubber.
- The electrolytic capacitor acts as a snubber in parallel with the ceramic capacitors. If one were to design an RC snubber to dampen the LC circuit, it would have a large capacitance (compared to the ceramic), and some series resistance. An electrolytic capacitor with some ESR is a cheap way to get both. Its ESR works as the resistance for the snubber.
