Q: TPS61030_How to use ceramic output capacitor. by 667563
Dear.
Can I use TPS61030 only with a ceramic capacitor
for output?
A: Re: TPS61030_How to use ceramic output capacitor. by 244698
The TPS61030 is not recommended for use with ceramic output capacitors. The datasheet recommends capacitors with > 30 mohm ESR, which includes tantalum and polymer capacitors.
The TPS63020 is a good choice for this application.
Advantage to the TPS63020:
Smaller inductor
Smaller output capacitors
Ceramic capacitors
Higher efficiency
