TPS22976: VBIAS and IN capacitor values

Part Number: TPS22976

HI,

Is there a strict regulation about the capacitor values on VIN and VBIAS pin?  Can it be 0.1uF for both of them?  What is the consideration here?

Thanks!

Antony

  • Hi Anthony,

    The input capacitor here is mainly used for decoupling or to stabilize the input rail. 

    There is no strict requirement for input capacitor values and I believe that both can be 0.1uF. A larger input capacitance would be helpful if you are expecting large bursts of current and you believe the source would not be strong enough to supply this power.
