APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
LT3024
used to bypass the reference (for low noise operation),
larger values of output capacitors are needed. For 100pF
of bypass capacitance on Output 2, 2.2 F of output
capacitor is recommended. With a 330pF bypass capaci-
tor or larger on this output, a 3.3 F output capacitor is
recommended. For Output 1, 4.7 F of output capacitor is
recommended for 100pF of bypass capacitance. With
1000pF or larger bypass capacitor on this output, a 6.8 F
output capacitor is recommended. The shaded region of
Figures 2 and 3 define the regions over which the LT3024
regulator is stable. The minimum ESR needed is defined
by the amount of bypass capacitance used, while the
maximum ESR is 3 .

Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a
variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across
temperature and applied voltage. The most common
dielectrics used are Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and
Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances
in a small package, but exhibit strong voltage and tem-
perature coefficients as shown in Figures 4 and 5. When
used with a 5V regulator, a 10 F Y5V capacitor can exhibit
an effective value as low as 1 F to 2 F over the operating
temperature range. The X5R and X7R dielectrics result in
more stable characteristics and are more suitable for use
as the output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability
across temperature, while the X5R is less expensive and
is available in higher values.
