Part Number: LM73100EVM

Hi,

When using the LM73100, is it a must to add output capacitance?

If Yes, what is the minimum value?

Thanks!

Hi Erez,

It is not required to use output capacitance - what output capacitance is used is usually dictated by downstream component requirements.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for your response!

Could you please tell me what is the natural output capacitance of the LM37100 component?

regards,

Erez

Hi Erez,

LM73100 has a very small inherent capacitance on its output pin, on the order of 1-100s pF. Is this a suitable range for you?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I think the capacitance is in a good range.
I will check other needed characteristics and this component may be a good candidate for my application.
With your permission i will ask for more information when I will need...
Thank you very much!
