Stability and Input Capacitance
Low ESR, ceramic input bypass capacitors are acceptable
for applications without long input leads. However,
applications connecting a power supply to an LT3032’s
circuit’s INP/INN and GND pins with long input wires
combined with low ESR, ceramic input capacitors are
prone to voltage spikes, reliability concerns and application-
specific board oscillations. The input wire inductance
found in many battery-powered applications, combined
with the low ESR ceramic input capacitor, forms a high-Q
LC resonant tank circuit. In some instances this resonant
frequency beats against the output current dependent
LDO bandwidth and interferes with proper operation.
Simple circuit modifications/solutions are then required.
This behavior is not indicative of LT3032 instability, but
is a common ceramic input bypass capacitor application
issue.
The self-inductance, or isolated inductance, of a wire is
directly proportional to its length. Wire diameter is not a
major factor on its self-inductance. For example, the self-
inductance of a 2-AWG isolated wire (diameter = 0.26”) is
about half the self-inductance of a 30-AWG wire (diameter
= 0.01”). One foot of 30-AWG wire has about 465nH of
self-inductance.
One of two ways reduces a wire’s self-inductance. One
method divides the current flowing towards the LT3032
between two parallel conductors. In this case, the farther
apart the wires are from each other, the more the self-
inductance is reduced; up to a 50% reduction when placed
a few inches apart. Splitting the wires basically connects
two equal inductors in parallel, but placing them in close
proximity gives the wires mutual inductance adding to
the self-inductance. The second and most effective way
to reduce overall inductance is to place both forward and
return current conductors (the input and GND wires) in
very close proximity. Two 30-AWG wires separated by only
0.02”, used as forward– and return– current conductors,
reduce the overall self-inductance to approximately one-
fifth that of a single isolated wire.
