8.2.2.8 Capacitor Selection

The LM3535 requires 4 external capacitors for proper operation (C1 = C2 = CIN = COUT = 1 µF). Surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR < 20 mΩ typical). Tantalum capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for use with the LM3535 due to their high ESR, as compared to ceramic capacitors.

For most applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R temperature characteristic are preferred for use with the LM3535. These capacitors have tight capacitance tolerance (as good as ±10%) and hold their value over temperature (X7R: ±15% over –55°C to 125°C; X5R: ±15% over –55°C to 85°C).

Capacitors with Y5V or Z5U temperature characteristic are generally not recommended for use with the LM3535. Capacitors with these temperature characteristics typically have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, –20%) and vary significantly over temperature (Y5V: +22%, –82% over –30°C to +85°C range; Z5U: +22%, –56% over +10°C to +85°C range). Under some conditions, a nominal 1µF Y5V or Z5U capacitor could have a capacitance of only 0.1 µF. Such detrimental deviation is likely to cause Y5V and Z5U capacitors to fail to meet the minimum capacitance requirements of the LM3535.

The recommended voltage rating for the capacitors is 10 V to account for DC bias capacitance losses.
