The buck regulator requires 10 礔 output capacitors to guaran-
tee stability and response to rapid load variations and to transition
in and out the PWM/PSM modes. In certain applications, where
the buck regulator powers a processor, the operating state is
known because it is controlled by software. In this condition,
the processor can drive the MODE pin according to the operating
state; consequently, it is possible to reduce the output capacitor
from 10 礔 to 4.7 礔 because the regulator does not expect a
large load variation when working in PSM mode (see Figure 62).

To minimize supply noise, place the input capacitor as close
to the VIN pin of the buck as possible. As with the output
capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is recommended.
The effective capacitance needed for stability, which includes
temperature and dc bias effects, is a minimum of 3 礔 and a
maximum of 10 礔. A list of suggested capacitors is shown in
Table 13.

LDO CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output Capacitor
The ADP5042 LDOs are designed for operation with small,
space-saving ceramic capacitors, but they function with most
commonly used capacitors as long as care is taken with the ESR
value. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability of the
LDO control loop. A minimum of 0.70 礔 capacitance with an
ESR of 1 & or less is recommended to ensure stability of the
ADP5042. Transient response to changes in load current is also
affected by output capacitance. Using a larger value of output
capacitance improves the transient response of the ADP5042 to
large changes in load current.
Input Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 1 礔 capacitor from VIN2 and VIN3 to GND
reduces the circuit sensitivity to printed circuit board (PCB)
layout, especially when long input traces or high source
impedance is encountered. If greater than 1 礔 of output
capacitance is required, increase the input capacitor to match it.
