8.1.2 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements (CIN and COUT)

The TPS7A84 is designed and characterized for operation with ceramic capacitors of 47 µF or greater (22 μF or greater of capacitance) at the output and 10 µF or greater (5 μF or greater of capacitance) at the input. Using at least a 47-µF capacitor is highly recommended 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 TPS7A84 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 the ringing and to keep it below the device absolute maximum ratings.

A combination of multiple output capacitors boosts the high-frequency PSRR, as illustrated in several of the PSRR curves. The combination of one 0805-sized, 47-µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with two 0805-sized,
10-µF ceramic capacitors with a sufficient voltage rating in conjunction with the PSRR boost circuit optimizes PSRR for the frequency range of 400 kHz to 700 kHz, a typical range for dc-dc supply switching frequency. This 47-µF || 10-µF || 10-µF combination also ensures that at high input voltage and high output voltage configurations, the minimum effective capacitance is met. Many 0805-sized, 47-µF ceramic capacitors have a voltage derating of approximately 60% to 80% at 5.0 V, so the addition of the two 10-µF capacitors ensures that the capacitance is at or above 22 µF.
