The ESR should be less than ;
VIN - VOUT - DV - VDROP
ESR =
DI
Where :
VDROP º Input voltage drop
allowed in step 4
DV º Maximum regulator
dropout voltage
DI º Load current step

Selecting two Sanyo 1500 uF the same type as the
output capacitors meets our requirements.

Layout Consideration
The output capacitors must be located as close to
the Vout terminal of the device as possible. It is recom-
mended to use a section of a layer of the PC board as a
plane to connect the Vout pin to the output capacitors to
prevent any high frequency oscillation that may result
due to excessive trace inductance.
