7.3.2 Feed-Forward Capacitor, CFF

The LMZM33603 is internally compensated to be stable over the operating frequency and output voltage range. However, depending on the output voltage, an additional feed-forward capacitor may be required. TI recommends an external feed-forward capacitor, CFF, be placed in parallel with the top resistor divider, RFBT for optimum transient performance. The value for CFF can be calculated using Equation 2.

where

  • COUT is the value after derating in µF
  • RFBT is in kΩ

Refer to the Table 1 for the recommended CFF value for several output voltages.
