TPS82672: Would like to know if additional input caoacitors are needed or not

Part Number: TPS82672

Tool/software:

Hi team,

May I know if we need to add extra input ceramic or bulk capacitors in the usecase below? I cannot judge if they are needed or not in customer's situation..

Input voltage: 3.3V

Output voltage: 1.5V

Output current: 0.153A

Best regards,

Shunsuke Yamamoto

  • Hi Yamamoto-san,

    For the typical optical module application, where everything is squished together on a tiny PCB, no other Cin is required.  There is plenty of additional capacitance present on the input bus, from other regulators, etc.

    Thanks,

    Chris
