PRODUCTION DATA
Because the buck converter has a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is required for best input voltage filtering to minimize input voltage spikes. For most applications a 4.7-µF input capacitor is sufficient. When operating from a high impedance source, like a coin cell a larger input buffer capacitor ≥10uF is recommended avoiding voltage drops during start-up and load transients. The input capacitor can be increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering. The leakage current of the input capacitor adds to the overall quiescent current. Table 9-4 shows a selection of input and output capacitors.
