SNVSCI1A October 2023 – December 2023 TPSM365R1 , TPSM365R15
PRODUCTION DATA
For a 5-V output, the TPSM365R15(F) requires a minimum of 4.7-µF effective output capacitance for proper operation (see Standard RFBT Values, Recommended FSW and Minimum COUT). High-quality ceramic type capacitors with sufficient voltage and temperature rating are required. Additional output capacitance can be added to reduce ripple voltage or for applications with transient load requirements.
In practice, the output capacitor has the most influence on the transient response and loop-phase margin. Load transient testing and bode plots are the best way to validate any given design and must always be completed before the application goes into production.
Limit the maximum value of total output capacitance to about 10 times the design value, or 1000 µF, whichever is smaller. Large values of output capacitance can adversely affect the start-up behavior of the regulator as well as the loop stability. If values larger than noted here must be used, then a careful study of start-up at full load and loop stability must be performed.
This design uses a 10-μF, 10-V, 1206 capacitor which is approximately 5 µF at 5-V DC bias. A smaller case size capacitor, or lower DC rating, does not provide adequate, effective capacitance for this design.
