7.2.2.5 Feed-Forward Capacitor (CFF)

For the adjustable-voltage version device, connect a feed-forward capacitor (CFF) from the OUT pin to the FB pin. CFF improves transient, noise, and PSRR performance, but is not required for regulator stability. Recommended CFF values are listed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Using a higher capacitance CFF causes the start-up time to increase. For a detailed description of CFF tradeoffs, see the Pros and Cons of Using a Feedforward Capacitor with a Low-Dropout Regulator application note.

CFF and R1 form a zero in the loop gain at frequency fZ. CFF, R1, and R2 form a pole in the loop gain at frequency fP. Calculate the CFF zero and pole frequencies from the following equations:

Equation 4. fZ = 1 / (2 × π × CFF × R1)
Equation 5. fP = 1 / (2 × π × CFF × (R1 || R2))

CFF ≥ 10pF is required for stability if the feedback divider current is less than 5μA. Equation 6 calculates the feedback divider current.

Equation 6. IFB_Divider = VOUT / (R1 + R2)

To avoid the start-up time increasing from CFF, limit the product of CFF × R1 < 50µs.

For an output voltage of 1.205V with the FB pin tied to the OUT pin, do not use CFF.
