9 Power Supply Recommendations

Follow these general guidelines when designing the power supply:

  1. The power supply should be designed to provide the operating conditions outlined in the recommended operating conditions section in terms of DC voltage, AC noise, and start-up ramp time.
  2. The DS160PR421 does not require any special power supply filtering, such as ferrite beads, provided that the recommended operating conditions are met. Only standard supply decoupling is required. Typical supply decoupling consists of a 0.1 µF capacitor per VCC pin, one 1.0 µF bulk capacitor per device, and one 10 µF bulk capacitor per power bus that delivers power to one or more devices. The local decoupling (0.1 µF) capacitors must be connected as close to the VCC pins as possible and with minimal path to the device ground pad.
  3. The DS160PR421 voltage regulator output pins require decoupling caps of 0.1 µF near each pins. The regulator is only for internal use. Do not use to provide power to any external component.
