9 Power Supply Recommendations

The design of the device is for operation from an input voltage supply range between 3.5 V and 42 V. Good regulation of this input supply is essential. If the input supply is more distant than a few inches from the TPS54240 converter, the circuit may require additional bulk capacitance in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor with a value of 100 µF is a typical choice.
