LM27402: Output capacitor selection

Hi Team,

I am working on a customer solution that uses a parallel combination of a 470uF, 50mohm tantalum cap along with 5 ceramic caps - 14uF, 2.3mohm each.

How would this affect my usage of Equation (3) and especially Equation (4) in the Output Capacitor Selection section of the datasheet?

1. Do I simply parallel the capacitance and resistance values i.e. Cout = 540uF, 0.46mohm?

2. Do I parallel the impedance of each cap (esr+(1/jwC)) and then proceed? I can do that for equation 3 but I am not sure what frequency I would use for equation (4).

Thanks in advance! I appreciate the assistance!
