8.2.1.1 Capacitor Recommendations

Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors must be used for the input, output, noise reduction, and bypass capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with X7R and X5R dielectrics are preferred. These dielectrics offer more stable characteristics. Ceramic X7R capacitors offer improved over-temperature performance, while ceramic X5R capacitors are more cost-effective and are available in higher values.
