LM337: Max value for output capacitance

Genius 15770 points
Part Number: LM337

Hello,

I have one question for LM337 output capacitance.
Is there any limitation for maximum output capacitance value?

In my customer’s system, this LM337 out will be connected to 8 boards.            
Then they want to put a big capacitance. Then they want to confirm whether there is limitation for max capacitance value.

Regards,
Oba

  • HI Oba,

    How much capacitance do they plan to add? My impression is that these eight boards would have wires/traces and connectors which would add some impedance between the output of the regulator and the various loads. Also, one regulator trying to regulate the 8 loads may have accuracy issues based on the load current. 

    Can you share a simple block diagram of their proposed system?
