LM2852: Are there any selection conditions for Cf ?

Part Number: LM2852

Hi All

My customer is using LM2852 for their production board,
and they are using GRM188R61A105K for Cf.
(They chose GRM188R61A105K from LM2852X Demonstration Board)

- LM2852XMXA-3.3 with GRM188R61A105K(Cf)
- LM2852XMXA-1.5 with GRM188R61A105K(Cf)


Then, they would like to chenge capacitor to small size, because delivery situation of capacitor became bad.

Are there any conditions to select Cf ?
They are worryied about especially DC Bias characteristics. (5Vin)

In other words, can LM2852 use GRM033R61A105ME15 for Cf ?

Please advice.

Best regards,
Honda

  • Honda,
    There are no provided guidelines for choosing Cf and Rf other than following directly the recommended values of 10 ohm and 1.0 uF. You are correct to be concerned with DC bias. Personally, I always check it. I think the choice of gr033R61A105ME15 is not a good one. I would look for something that has at least 0.7 uF capacitance at your DC voltage.

  • Hi John

    Thank you for reply.
    I'll refer to you.
