LT1614 UOPERATIOCapacitors critical, and either tantalum or ceramic can be used with little trade-off in circuit performance. Some capacitor As described previously, ceramic capacitors can be used types appropriate for use with the LT1614 are listed in with the LT1614. For lower cost applications, small tanta- Table 2. lum units can be used. A value of 22µF is acceptable, although larger capacitance values can be used. ESR is the Diodes most important parameter in selecting an output capaci- tor. The “flying” capacitor (C2 in the schematic figures) A Schottky diode is recommended for use with the LT1614. should be a 1µF ceramic type. An X5R or X7R dielectric The Motorola MBR0520 is a very good choice. Where the should be used to avoid capacitance decreasing severely input to output voltage differential exceeds 20V, use the with applied voltage. The input bypass capacitor is less MBR0530 ( a 30V diode). Table 1.
