The TPS7A7100 is designed to be stable with standard ceramic capacitors with capacitance values from 4.7 μF to 47 μF without a feedforward capacitor. For output capacitors from 47 µF to 200 µF a feedforward capacitor of at least 220 pF must be used. The TPS7A7100 is evaluated using an X5R-type, 10-μF ceramic capacitor. Use X5R- and X7R-type capacitors because they have minimal variation in value and ESR over temperature. Maximum ESR must be less than 1 Ω.

As with any regulator, increasing the size of the output capacitor reduces overshoot and undershoot magnitude, but increases duration of the transient response.
