A new bypass capacitance, from VIN to -VOUT is used to help with load transients. The values for the bypass capacitance, CIO and CIO_HF, can be chosen using input capacitance recommendations from the buck data sheet, but it is important to note that the voltage across the capacitors will be VIN + |-VOUT|. The capacitors used must be appropriately sized for the voltage difference between VIN and -VOUT. When the input supply is turned on, the bypass capacitance can cause the output to shortly swing positive before becoming negative. If the desired load is sensitive to a positive swing, then an optional Schottky diode can be placed across the output to clamp the voltage.
