PRODUCTION DATA
In typical applications, TI recommends a 4.7-µF low-ESR ceramic charge-pump output capacitor (C3). Different output capacitance values can be used to reduce charge pump ripple, shrink the design size, and cut the cost of the solution. However, changing the output capacitor can also require changing the flying capacitor or input capacitor to maintain good overall circuit performance.
In higher-current applications, TI recommends a 10-µF, 10-V low-ESR ceramic output capacitor. If a small output capacitor is used, the output ripple can become large during the transition between PFM mode and constant switching. To prevent toggling, TI recommends a 2-µF capacitance. For example, 10-µF, 10-V output capacitor in a 0402 case size typically has only 2-µF capacitance when biased to 5 V.
