The response of other voltage options can compensation for the reference and cannot be omitted. be estimated by proper scaling. For light loads ≤1mA, a 1µF nonpolar output capacitor is usually adequate, but for higher loads (up to 75mA), the Bypass and Load Capacitors output capacitor should be 2µF or greater. Figures 1 and The LT1461 family requires a capacitor on the input and 2 show the transient response to a 1mA load step with on the output for stability. The capacitor on the input is a 1µF output capacitor and a 50mA load step with a 2µF a supply bypass capacitor and if the bypass capacitors output capacitor. from other components are close (within 2 inches) they 0mA IOUT 1mA/DIV 1mA IOUT 50mA/DIV V V OUT OUT 200mV/DIV 20mV/DIV 1461 F01 1461 F02 Figure 1. 1mA Load Step with CL = 1µFFigure 2. 50mA Load Step with CL = 2µF 1461fb 10 For more information www.linear.com/LT1461 Document Outline Features Applications Typical Application Description Absolute Maximum Ratings Order Information Pin Configuration Available Options Electrical Characteristics Applications Information Simplified Schematic Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
