Figure 32. Application schematic – Post regulation

Input ceramic capacitor C2 ≥ 4.7 μF is necessary for the regulator to operate properly. The other input capacitor

C1 can be used as backup supply for the application. The C0 capacitor, connected to the output pin, is for

bypassing to GND the high-frequency noise and it guarantees stability even during sudden line and load

variations.

Suggested value is C0 = 3.3 µF.

The ESR of the SMD output ceramic capacitor has a negligible effect on the stability of the L99VR01 family for

capacitors with low ESR. A ceramic SMD capacitor is recommended on Vo pin.
