7.1.2 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements

Although the LDO is stable without an input capacitor, good analog design practice is to connect a capacitor from IN to GND, with a value at least equal to the nominal value specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. The input capacitor counteracts reactive input sources and improves transient response, input ripple, and PSRR, and is recommended if the source impedance is greater than 0.5 Ω. When the source resistance and inductance are sufficiently high, especially in the presence of load transients, the overall system can be susceptible to instability (including ringing and sustained oscillation) and other performance degradation if there is insufficient capacitance between IN and GND. A capacitor with a value greater than the minimum can be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load or line transients are anticipated or if the device is located more than a few centimeters from the input power source.

An output capacitor of an appropriate value helps provide stability and improve dynamic performance. Use an output capacitor within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
