8.2.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection

The ceramic input capacitors provide a low impedance source to the regulator in addition to supplying the ripple current and isolating switching noise from other circuits. A minimum ceramic capacitance of 2 × 4.7µF is required on the input of the regulator. Place one capacitor on each side of the package and connected directly to the VIN and GND pins of the device. This capacitance must be rated for at least the maximum input voltage that the application requires, preferably twice the maximum input voltage. The value can be increased to help reduce input voltage ripple and maintain the input voltage during load transients. In addition, a high frequency bypass capacitance of 2 × 100nF ceramic capacitor must be used at the input, as close a possible to the regulator. Place one capacitor on each side of the package and connected directly to the VIN and GND pins of the device. This requirement provides a high frequency bypass for the control circuits internal to the device.

For this example, 2 × 4.7µF, 100V, X7R (or better) ceramic capacitors are chosen. The 100nF capacitors must also be rated at 100V with an X7R dielectric.

Using an electrolytic capacitor on the input in parallel with the ceramics is often desirable. This statement is especially true if long leads or traces are used to connect the input supply to the regulator, or an input EMI filter is used. The moderate ESR of this capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by any inductance on the input. The use of this additional capacitor also helps with voltage dips caused by input supplies with unusually high impedance.
