The input capacitor (C1) can be electrolytic,
tantalum or ceramic. When using electrolytic or
tantalum capacitors, a small, high quality ceramic
capacitor, i.e. 0.1μF, should be placed as close
to the IC as possible. When using ceramic
capacitors, make sure that they have enough
capacitance to provide sufficient charge to
prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The
input voltage ripple caused by capacitance can

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain
the DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low
ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the
output voltage ripple low. The output voltage
ripple can be estimated by:

ESR is the

In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance
at the switching frequency is dominated by the
capacitance. The output voltage ripple is mainly
caused by the capacitance. For simplification, the
output voltage ripple can be estimated by:

The characteristics of the output capacitor also
affect the stability of the regulation system.
