TPS2085: what all types of capacitors at load side we can use?

Part Number: TPS2085

Can we use Tantalum or tantalum polymer SMD capacitors in place of Electrolytic capacitors at the output pin (load side) of TPS208xx ICs without compromising the performace?

  • Hi Shrikant, 

    Yes, you can use Tantalum or tantalum polymer SMD capacitors at the output pin of the TPS208xx ICs without compromising the performance.

  • Thank you very much Elizabeth for your answer. I have a related question on this. So, in the datasheet of TPS2085 there is an example USB hub application design wherein the big value capacitor (33uF) is placed near the USB connector. So, my question is, on the PCB do I need to mount these capacitor near the USB connector or very close to the out pin of TPS8085?

    Thank you in advance.

    Best Regards,
