Austin LynxTM SIP module should be connected to a
low-impedance source. A highly inductive source can

affect the stability of the module. An input capacitance
must be placed directly adjacent to the input pin of the
module, to minimize input ripple voltage and ensure
module stability.

To minimize input voltage ripple, low-ESR polymer and

ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the
COM
module. Figure 27 shows input ripple voltage (mVp-p)
for various outputs with 1x150 µF polymer capacitors
(Panasonic p/n: EEFUE0J151R, Sanyo p/n:
NOTE: Measure input reflected ripple current with a simulated
source inductance (LTEST) of 1μH. Capacitor CS offsets
possible battery impedance. Measure current as shown
above.
