9 Application Information

External Components

Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. Ceramic

capacitors are required for input decoupling and should be located as close to the device as is practical.

If a different input capacitor is chosen, ensure similar ESR value and at least 3µF capacitance at the maximum input

supply voltage. Larger capacitor values (C) may be used without limitations.

Add a smaller capacitor in parallel to the input pin VIN (e.g. Murata GRM155R61C104, >50nF @ 3V, 0402 size).

Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize VOUT ripple. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended since

they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. The capacitor should be located as close to the

device as is practical.

X5R dielectric material is recommended due to their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature

range.

If a different output capacitor is chosen, ensure similar ESR values and at least 4.2µF capacitance at 5V output volt-

age.
