8.2.2.6 Output Capacitors

The minimum required output capacitance for a 12-V input and 0.95-V output at 500 kHz switching frequency is 294 μF of ceramic capacitance, as well as an additional 430 μF of either ceramic or low-ESR polymer, as shown in Table 7-3.

For this design, four 100-μF ceramic capacitors plus a 330-μF polymer capacitor where used to meet the requirements.
