PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM2623-Q1 input capacitor filters the inductor current ripple and the internal MOSFET driver currents. The inductor current ripple can add input voltage ripple due to any series resistance in the input power path. The MOSFET driver currents can add voltage spikes on the input due to the inductance in series with the VIN/VDD and the input capacitor. Place the input capacitor close to the inductor and minimize the current-loop area. Close placement of the VDD capacitor to the VDD and GND pins is critical because any series inductance can create voltage spikes that could appear on the VIN/VDD supply line.
