(1) Capacitance tolerance and bias voltage de-rating is anticipated. The effective capacitance varies by +20% and –50%.
(2) Inductor tolerance and current de-rating is anticipated. The effective inductance can vary by 20% and -20%.
(3) Typical application configuration. Other check marks indicate alternative filter combinations.
