LM2675: LM2675 polymer output capacitor

Part Number: LM2675

Hi,

I have an application using the LM2675 set to output 3.3V.  The switching inductor is set at 47uH based on the design requirements.  The datasheet recommends using either a tantalum or an electrolytic cap.  Are there any problems using a Polymer cap type or is there a reason the datasheet specifies the other types?

Also the datasheet shows a recommended capacitance value between 68uF and 150uF depending on whether a tantalum or an electrolytic cap is used (portion of the datasheet table is below).  Can you make any suggestions to what capacitance should be used with a polymer type?

Thanks,

Kevin VA
