LM4950: About P17 "POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING" of the data sheet.

Part Number: LM4950

Ivan Salazar,

Sorry for the late response.
For example, what is the impact of using the following capacitors?

(1) GRM21BC8YA106KE11

(2) GRM32EB31E226KE15

  • Hi, Jungo,

    The 10uF capacitor is a good choice as decoupling capacitor. If placed near of the power supply pin, the lower frequency ripple will be correctly mitigated. However, I would replace the 22uF capacitor for a 0.1uF capacitor. The 10uF capacitor is enough for the low frequency noise content, but you would need to reduce the high frequency content with a 0.1uF capacitor.

    In addition, as stated in the datasheet, you would need to consider a 1uF tantalum capacitor.

    I hope this helps you. Please let me know if you require additional support on this.

  • Hi, Luis,

    Thank you for your response.

    I want you to see the original question (LM4950: About P17 "POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING" of the data sheet).
    I asked Ivan Salazar the following and he said you can use X7R or at least X5R capitalists.

    > tantalum bypass capacitance is written that the necessary to connect between the LM49507s supply pins and ground.
    > Please teach the method of not using the tantalum bypass capacitor for me.

    My question is to see what happens when the following capacitors are used instead of tantalum capacitors.
    I would like to know if using the following capacitors will lead to AMP degradation or AMP destruction.
    According to the DC bias characteristic, GRM32EB31E226KE15 is 8.8uF at 12V.

  • Hi, Jungo,

    Thank you for your clarification.

    I think these capacitors would work correctly even with the DC bias derating. If you use a power supply level of 12V, the capacitors will be reduced to 2uF (from originally 10uF) and 10uF (from 22uF originally).
