dielectric. The input capacitor filters peak currents and
noise at the voltage source and, therefore, must meet
the input ripple requirements and voltage rating.
Calculate the maximum RMS input current as:

cuit (see Figures 1 through 4). Table 3 lists some sug-
gested capacitor suppliers.

bility. Generally, 25mV of ESR-ripple at the feedback
node is sufficient. The simplified calculation is:
Because tantalum capacitors rarely specify minimum
ESR, choose a capacitor with typical ESR that is about
twice as much as ESR
greater than this work, output ripple becomes larger.

The 1.25 multiplier is for capacitor tolerance. Select any

The MAX1921 has factory preset output voltages of
1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, and 3.3V, while the MAX1920 is
externally adjusted by connecting FB to a resistive volt-
age-divider. When using a ceramic output capacitor,
the feedback network must include a compensation
