7.1.4 Feed-Forward Capacitor (CFFx)

Although a feed-forward capacitor (CFFx) from the FBx pin to the OUTx pin is not required to achieve stability, a 10nF external CFFx capacitor optimizes the transient, noise, and PSRR performance. The maximum recommended value for CFFx is 100nF.

A larger CFFx can dominate the start-up time set by CNR/SS, for more information see the Pros and Cons of Using a Feed-Forward Capacitor with a Low Dropout Regulator application note.
