The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current
is given by:
the output to regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V.
To limit the bias current required for the external
feedback resistor string while maintaining good
noise immunity, the minimum suggested value for
R2 is 59kΩ. Although a larger value will further
reduce quiescent current, it will also increase the
impedance of the feedback node, making it more
sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 2
summarizes the resistor values for various output
voltages with R2 set to either 59kΩ for good noise
immunity or 221kΩ for reduced no load input current.

Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic
output capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in
less than a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
