SBVS304B June 2017 – October 2021 TPS7A83A
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS7A83A is designed to be stable using low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors at the input, output, and noise-reduction pin (NR/SS). Multilayer ceramic capacitors have become the industry standard for these types of applications and are recommended, but must be used with good judgment. Ceramic capacitors that employ X7R-, X5R-, and COG-rated dielectric materials provide relatively good capacitive stability across temperature, whereas the use of Y5V-rated capacitors is discouraged because of large variations in capacitance.
Regardless of the ceramic capacitor type selected, ceramic capacitance varies with operating voltage and temperature; derate ceramic capacitors by at least 50%. The input and output capacitors recommended herein account for a capacitance derating of approximately 50%, but at high VIN and VOUT conditions (for example, VIN = 5.6 V to VOUT = 5.2 V) the derating can be greater than 50% and must be taken into consideration.
