9.7 Input Capacitor
The input filter capacitor reduces peak currents drawn from the power source and reduces noise and voltage ripple on the input caused by the
circuit’s switching. The input capacitor must meet the ripple-current requirement (IRMS) imposed by the switching current defined as:
IRMS = (ILOAD x VOUTPUT)/VIN
x
√((4/3) x (VIN - VOUTPUT) - 1)
(EQ 10)
For most applications, non-tantalum type (ceramic, aluminum, polymer, or OS-CON) are preferred due to their robustness to high in-rush
currents typical of systems with low-impedance battery inputs. Alternatively, connect two (or more) smaller value low-ESR capacitors in parallel
to reduce cost. Choose an input capacitor that exhibits less than +10ºC temperature rise at the RMS input current for optimal circuit life.

9.8 Diode Selection
The current in the D1 (see Figure 22 on page 10) changes abruptly from zero to its peak value each time the LX switch turns off. To avoid
excessive losses, the diode must have a fast turn-on time and a low forward voltage.
Note: Ensure that the diode peak current rating exceeds the peak current limit set by the current limit (see Setting Current Limit on page 11),
and that its breakdown voltage exceeds VIN. Schottky diodes are recommended.
9.9 Stable Operation
A well-designed system and selection of high-quality external components can eliminate excessive noise on pins OUT, FB, or GND, which can
lead to unstable device operation. Instability typically manifests itself as grouped switching pulses with large gaps and excessive low-frequency
output ripple (motorboating) during no-load or light-load conditions.
