Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is normally chosen by its Effective
Series Resistance (ESR), because this is what determines
output ripple voltage. At 500kHz, any polarized capacitor
is essentially resistive. To get low ESR takes volume , so
physically smaller capacitors have high ESR. The ESR
range for typical LT1376 applications is 0.05Ω to 0.5Ω. A
typical output capacitor is an AVX type TPS, 100µF at 10V,
with a guaranteed ESR less than 0.1Ω. This is a “D” size
surface mount solid tantalum capacitor. TPS capacitors
are specially constructed and tested for low ESR, so they
give the lowest ESR for a given volume. The value in
microfarads is not particularly critical, and values from
22µF to greater than 500µF work well, but you cannot
cheat mother nature on ESR. If you find a tiny 22µF solid
tantalum capacitor, it will have high ESR, and output ripple
voltage will be terrible. Table 3 shows some typical solid
tantalum surface mount capacitors.

Many engineers have heard that solid tantalum capacitors
are prone to failure if they undergo high surge currents.
This is historically true, and type TPS capacitors are
specially tested for surge capability, but surge ruggedness
is not a critical issue with the output capacitor. Solid
tantalum capacitors fail during very high turn-on surges,
which do not occur at the output of regulators. High
