3. Capacitor
As for C
IN
, use a capacitor with low ESR(Equivalent Series Resistance) and a capacity of at least 10
m
F for stable
operation.
C
OUT
can reduce ripple of Output Voltage, therefore 47
m
F to 100
m
F tantalum type is recommended.
4. Lx Transistor
Pch Power MOS FET is required for this IC.
Its breakdown voltage between gate and source should be a few volt higher than Input Voltage.
In the case of Input Voltage is low, to turn on MOS FET completely, select a MOS FET with low threshold voltage.
If a large load current is necessary for your application and important, choose a MOS FET with low ON resistance
for good efficiency.
If a small load current is mainly necessary for your application, choose a MOS FET with low gate capacity for good
efficiency.
Maximum continuous drain current of MOS FET should be larger than peak current, ILmax.
