The power supply can be three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, or one-cell Li-Ion or
Li-Polymer battery. The input supply should be well regulated with the rating of
TPS61253x. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the device,
additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass
capacitors. An electrolytic or tantalum capacitor with a value of 47µF is a typical
choice.
