JAJSED9U June 2007 – January 2018 LP3907
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LDOs on the LP3907 are designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor (temperature types Z5U, Y5V or X7R) with ESR between 5 mΩ to 500 mΩ, is suitable in the application circuit.
It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, COUT (or VOUT), but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost.
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR value that is within the range 5 mΩ to 500 mΩ for stability.
