Funny. That was supposed to be Surprised! Good old spelling checker got me. I was trying to state that they were out of stock at my usual sources (Mouser and Digikey) so I directly ordered them. The price was competitive and delivery from the factory was less than a week. So, I had a good experience with Microchip direct. Anyway I was answering the question about ESR, the data sheet definitely states 0-2 ohms on this device, making me able to take a resistor in series with the output cap off my board. Nice part! It seemed like some asking if any LDO's could use 0 or near 0 ESR caps? I checked today, Mouser had the 5V ones.
