PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The LP5907 is designed specifically to work with a very small ceramic output capacitor, typically 1µF. A ceramic capacitor (dielectric types X5R or X7R) in the 1µF to 10µF range, and with ESR between 5mΩ to 500mΩ, is suitable in the LP5907 application circuit. For this device, connect the output capacitor between the OUT pin with a good connection back to the GND pin.
Tantalum or film capacitors can also be used at the device output, VOUT, but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see the Capacitor Characteristics section).
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and have an ESR value that is within the range of 5mΩ to 500mΩ for stability. Like the input capacitor, the initial tolerance, applied voltage derating, and temperature coefficient must all be considered when selecting the input capacitor to make sure that the actual capacitance is never less than 0.7µF over the entire operating range.
