PRODUCTION DATA
The output capacitance must supply the load with the required current when current is not immediately provided by the regulator. When the output capacitor supplies load current, the impedance of the capacitor greatly affects the magnitude of voltage deviation (such as undershoot and overshoot) during the transient.
Use Equation 6 and Equation 7 to calculate the minimum output capacitance to meet the undershoot and overshoot requirements. For this example, COUT(min_under) is 136 μF and 92 μF for COUT(min_over). In a real application, the value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to the capacitor. It is recommended to check the capacitor datasheet and account for the capacitance derating.
