Part Number: LM2660

Dear Specialists,

My customer is considering LM2660 and has a question.

Could you please advise?

---question---

According to the datasheet, it is described electric, OS Con and tantalum for capacitance for C1 and C2.

Is it possible to use ceramic cap?

If possible, l'd like to know how to use.

I appreciate your great help in advance.

Best regards,

Shinichi

Yes you can use ceramic capacitor but you may end up with higher capacitance values requiring multiple ceramic capacitors.

Hi Youhao

Thank you for your reply.

I sent your answer to the customer.

Ceramic cap is usable, but it must be used multiple by condition.

I appreciate your great help.
