I see on the LM5006 eval board, Vout is set to 5V, and the output capacitor (C2) is 15uF, 16V, X7R. I have used this exact part in my design and it is working well. However, I am hoping to replace this capacitor (which is 2.8mm high) with one that is a bit shorter. So, a couple questions -
Is the 16V rating required for any reason? Given the 5V output, I would expect plenty of margin with a 10V capacitor?
Any concerns about a X5R, X6S, or X7S capacitor? I seem to be able to get a much shorter capacitor in these dielectrics instead of X7R.
Thanks,
Dave
