SBVS446A August 2023 – January 2024 TPS7A53B
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS7A53B is designed and characterized for operation with ceramic capacitors of 47µF or greater (22µF or greater of capacitance) at the output and 10µF or greater (5µF or greater of capacitance) at the input. Use at least a 47µF capacitor at the input to minimize input impedance. Place the input and output capacitors as near as practical to the respective input and output pins to minimize trace parasitics. If the trace inductance from the input supply to the TPS7A53B is high, a fast current transient can cause VIN to ring above the absolute maximum voltage rating and damage the device. This situation can be mitigated by additional input capacitors to dampen and keep the ringing below the device absolute maximum ratings.
A combination of multiple output capacitors boosts the high-frequency PSRR. The combination of one 0805-sized, 47µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with two 0805-sized, 10µF ceramic capacitors with a sufficient voltage rating (in conjunction with the PSRR boost circuit) optimizes PSRR for the frequency range of 400kHz to 700kHz, a typical range for dc/dc supply switching frequency. This 47µF || 10µF || 10µF capacitor combination also makes certain that at high input voltage and high output voltage configurations, the minimum effective capacitance is met. Many 0805-sized, 47µF ceramic capacitors have a voltage derating of approximately 60% to 80% at 5.0V, so the addition of the two 10µF capacitors makes sure that the capacitance is at or above 22µF.
