(1) Consult capacitor suppliers regarding availability, material composition, RoHS and lead-free status, and manufacturing process
requirements for any capacitors identified in this table. See the Third-Party Products Disclaimer.
(2) Nameplate capacitance values (the effective values are lower based on the applied DC voltage and temperature).
As discussed in Section 10, an electrolytic bulk capacitance (68 µF to 100 µF) provides low-frequency filtering
and parallel damping to mitigate the effects of input parasitic inductance resonating with the low-ESR, high-Q
ceramic input capacitors.
8.3.4 Output Capacitors
Table 8-1 lists the TLVM13640 minimum amount of required output capacitance. The effects of DC bias and
temperature variation must be considered when using ceramic capacitance. For ceramic capacitors in particular,
the package size, voltage rating, and dielectric material contribute to differences between the standard rated
value and the actual effective value of the capacitance.
When including additional capacitance above COUT(min), the capacitance can be ceramic type, low-ESR polymer
type, or a combination of the two. See Table 8-3 for a preferred list of output capacitors by vendor.

8.3.5 Switching Frequency (RT)
Connect a resistor, designated as RRT in Figure 8-1, between RT and AGND to set the swiching frequency within
the range of 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Use Equation 5 or refer to Figure 7-8 to calculate RRT for a desired frequency.
(5)
Refer to Table 8-1 or use the simplified expression in Equation 6 to find a switching frequency that sets an
inductor ripple current of 30% to 50% of the 4-A module current rating at nominal input voltage:
