7.1 Input capacitor
The input capacitor value depends on a lot of factors such as load transient requirements,
input source (battery or DC/DC converter) and its distance from the input cap. Usually a
47µF is enough for any application but a much lower value can be sufficient in many cases.
7.2 Output capacitor
The output capacitor choice depends basically on the load transient requirements.
Tantalum, Special Polymer, POSCAP and aluminum capacitors are good and offer very low
ESR values. Multilayer ceramic caps have the lowest ESR and can be required for
particular applications. Nevertheless in several applications they are ok, the loop stability
issue has to be considered (see loop stability section).
