TPS54260: Can Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor be used as input capacitor for TPS54260

Menaka Srinivasan

Part Number: TPS54260

Hi,

I have selected TPS54260 regulator to get 3.8V output from 24V input. Can I use Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor as input capacitor for this regulator?
If yes would you recommend the capacitor - EEE-2AA100UP?
Can someone please clarify.

Awaiting your reply

Thanks.

    Hi Meneka,

    Looks like you posted a couple of threads with the same questions. Please delete them when you can.

    Is this the only capacitor at the input? If so, we do not recommend using an electrolytic cap since the input requires low ESR decoupling capacitors. Usually Al electrolytic capacitors have high ESR which can result in high input voltage ripple which is not ideal.

    Regards,
