JAJSOF9A october 2022 – march 2023 TPS62992-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The recommended value for the output capacitor is 22 µF. The architecture of the TPS62992-Q1 allows the use of tiny ceramic output capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR). These capacitors provide low output voltage ripple and are recommended. To keep its low resistance up to high frequencies and to get narrow capacitance variation with temperature, TI recommends the use of X7R or X8R dielectric capacitors. Using a higher value has advantages like smaller voltage ripple and a tighter DC output accuracy in power save mode (see the Optimizing the TPS62130/40/50/60 Output Filter application report).
In power save mode, the output voltage ripple depends on the following:
Using ceramic capacitors provides small ESR, ESL, and low ripple. The output capacitor must be as close as possible to the device.
For large output voltages, the DC bias effect of ceramic capacitors is large and the effective capacitance has to be observed.
