reference to Figure 7-2.
- Note A: Output capacitor
selection is critical for regulator stability. Larger COUT values
benefit the regulator by improving transient response and loop stability. This
device is designed to be stable with tantalum and aluminum electrolytic output
capacitors with an ESR between 0.2Ω and 10Ω.
- Note B: Use CADJ to
improve ripple rejection. If CADJ is used, a make sure to use a
COUT that is larger in value than CADJ.
- Note C: Use CIN if the
TLV1117 is not located near the power-supply filter.
- Note D: Use an external diode to
protect the regulator if the input is instantaneously shorted to GND.
