Is there any rule on how far a polarized tantalum cap can be used in reverse?
I have a case where it may need to work in reverse, but only up to the tens of mV. Maybe a worst-case pulse of 100mV, which would be an extremely rare occurance only lasting a couple of seconds.
I know a nonpolarized cap would be the first choice. I'm looking at this possibility since I might need a rather high capacitance and low leakage component for this app.
