9 Power Supply Recommendations

The design of the device is for operation from an power supply range between 4.5 V and 42 V. The power supply voltage must remain within this range. If the power supply is more distant than a few inches from the TPS54541 converter, the circuit may require additional bulk capacitance besides the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor with a value of 100 µF is a typical choice.
