Stability

The stability of the buck is optimized for the 4.7 µF capacitors recommended in the datasheet. Either too small or

too large a capacitance can cause an oscillation at the output and/or excessive ringing during load transients.It is

advisable not to exceed a total of 15 µF capacitance at the output. See Table 14 for recommended output

capacitors.

See also the recommended inductors table (Table 13) as stability may be compromised by the use of inductors

whose actual value may change significantly from its nominal value due to the operating conditions. This may be

the case for the smaller case size chip inductors.
