PRODUCTION DATA
Multilayer X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are excellent choices for the input decoupling of the integrated boost converter, because of the extremely low ESR and small footprint. Input capacitors must be located as close as possible to the device. While a 10μF input capacitor is sufficient for most applications, large capacitance is used to reduce input current ripple. When the input power is supplied through long wire and only ceramic capacitor is put, the load step at the output induces ringing at the VIN pin. This ringing couples back to the output and influence loop stability or even damage the device. In this circumstance, placing additional bulk capacitance (tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor) between ceramic input capacitor and the power supply can reduce the ringing
