SLVSGU2E February 2023 – April 2024 TLV709
PRODUCTION DATA
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, good analog design practice is to connect a capacitor from IN to GND. This capacitor counteracts reactive input sources and improves transient response, input ripple, and PSRR. Use an input capacitor if the source impedance is more than 0.5Ω. Use a higher-value capacitor if large, fast rise-time load or line transients are anticipated. Additionally, use a higher-value capacitor if the device is located several inches from the input power source.
Dynamic device performance is improved by using a larger output capacitor. The TLV709 requires a 1μF or larger output capacitor (0.47μF or larger capacitance) for stability and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) between 0.001Ω and 1Ω. For best transient performance, use X5R- and X7R-type ceramic capacitors because these capacitors have minimal variation in value and ESR over temperature. When choosing a capacitor for a specific application, be mindful of the DC bias characteristics for the capacitor. Higher output voltages cause a significant derating of the capacitor. Use an output capacitor within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table for stability.
