The effective capacitance needed for stability, which includes
temperature and dc bias effects, is a minimum of 7 µF and a

The buck regulators require 10 µF output capacitors to guar-
antee stability and response to rapid load variations and to
transition in and out the PWM/PSM modes. In certain
applications, where one or both buck regulator powers a
processor, the operating state is known because it is con-
trolled by software. In this condition, the processor can drive
the MODE pin according to the operating state; consequently, it
is possible to reduce the output capacitor from 10 µF to 4.7 µF
because the regulator does not expect a large load variation
when working in PSM mode, see Figure 50.

To minimize supply noise, place the input capacitor as close
to the VIN pin of the BUCK as possible. As with the output
capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is recommended.
The effective capacitance needed for stability, which includes
temperature and dc bias effects, is a minimum of 3 µF and a
maximum of 10 µF. A list of suggested capacitors is shown in
Tabl e 9.

LDO CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output Capacitor
The ADP5022 LDO is designed for operation with small, space-
saving ceramic capacitors but functions with most commonly
used capacitors as long as care is taken with the ESR value. The
ESR of the output capacitor affects stability of the LDO control
loop. A minimum of 0.70 µF capacitance with an ESR of 1 Ω
or less is recommended to ensure stability of the ADP5022.
Transient response to changes in load current is also affected
by output capacitance. Using a larger value of output capacit-
ance improves the transient response of the ADP5022 to large
changes in load current.
Input Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 1 µF capacitor from VIN3 to GND reduces
the circuit sensitivity to printed circuit board (PCB) layout,
especially when long input traces or high source impedance
are encountered. If greater than 1 µF of output capacitance is
required, increase the input capacitor to match it.
