ZHCSSL3R April 2000 – February 2025 LP2980-N
PRODUCTION DATA
Surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors offer a good combination of small physical size for the capacitance value, and an ESR in the range needed by the legacy chip version of the LP2980-N.
The results of testing the LP2980-N (legacy chip) stability with surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors show good stability with values of at least 1μF. Increase the value to 2.2μF (or more) for even better performance, including transient response and noise.
Small-value tantalum capacitors that are verified as appropriate for use with the LP2980-N (legacy chip) are shown in Table 7-1. Increase capacitance values without limit.
