Note:To prevent oscillation, it is recommended to use minimum 1µF X7R or X5R dielectric capacitors if ceramics are
used as input/output capacitors.

Pin Function
Power is supplied to this device from this pin which is required an input filter capacitor. In general, the input
capacitor in the range of 1µF to 10µF is sufficient.
The output supplies power to loads. The output capacitor is required to prevent output voltage from oscillation.
The
APE8800A
is stable with an output capacitor 1µF or greater. The larger output capacitor will be required for
application with larger load transients. The large output capacitor could reduce output noise, improve stability,
and PSRR.
