PRODUCTION DATA.
An input capacitor is required to serve as an energy reservoir for the current which must flow into the coil each time the switch turns ON. This capacitor must have extremely low ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. TI recommends a nominal value of 2.2 µF, but larger values can be used. Because this capacitor reduces the amount of voltage ripple detected at the input pin, it also reduces the amount of EMI passed back along that line to other circuitry.
