PRODUCTION DATA
The TLVM236x5 requires a minimum input capacitance of 4.7 μF. TI recommends an additional 0.1-μF capacitor in parallel for improved bypassing. High-quality ceramic type capacitors with sufficient voltage and temperature rating are required. The voltage rating of input capacitors must be greater than the maximum input voltage. For this design, a 4.7 μF and a 0.1 μF, 50-V rated capacitor are used.
Using an electrolytic capacitor on the input in parallel with the ceramics is often desirable. This fact is especially true if long leads or traces are used to connect the input supply to the regulator. The moderate ESR of this capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by the long power leads. The use of this additional capacitor also helps with voltage dips caused by input supplies with unusually high impedance.
Refer to Table 7-2 for example input capacitor part numbers to consider.
