PRODUCTION DATA
For the legacy chip, the output capacitor must meet both the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and equivalent series resistance (ESR) value. Curves are provided which show the allowable ESR range as a function of load current for various output voltages and capacitor values (refer to Figure 7-3, Figure 7-4, Figure 7-5, and Figure 7-6).
For the new chip, dynamic performance of the device is improved with the use of an output capacitor. Use an output capacitor, preferably ceramic capacitors, within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table for stability.
