PRODUCTION DATA
The capacitance in the back-up battery side affects BUB loop stability. The effective capacitance should be between 5μF to 10μF BUB loop functions needs to be applied. If BUB loop function is not required, then the capacitance in BUB side can be big without limit.
Care must be taken when evaluating a ceramic capacitor’s effective capacitance. For ceramic capacitors, the derating under dc bias voltage, aging, and ac signal should be taken into consideration. Taking Murata GCM21BR71C475KA73K as an example, the capacitor's effective capacitance reduces by 56% when 8V DC voltage is applied.
If back up battery is connected to the IC through long cable, TI recommend adding extra 100-200uF electrolytic capacitors on BUB side. This capacitor helps supress LC ringing caused by parasite inductance on back up battery cable. Note that the electrolytic capacitor cannot replace ceramic capacitor and 5μF to 10μF ceramic capacitor still needs to be placed near the IC.
