The problem is likely to be because electrolytic caps have high relative ESR compared to ceramics. At the bottom of page 8 of the [data sheet][1] it says: - > All capacitors must maintain a low (<100m Ω) equivalent series > resistance (ESR) Such small values as typically used are not always found in electrolytic types.
