The LV3842 device requires high frequency input decoupling capacitors and a bulk input capacitor, depending on the application. The typical recommended value for the high frequency decoupling capacitor is 2.2 µF or higher. TI recommends a high-quality ceramic type X5R or X7R with sufficiency voltage rating. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage. To compensate the derating of ceramic capacitors, TI recommends a voltage rating of twice the maximum input voltage. Additionally, some bulk capacitance can be required, especially if the LV3842 circuit is not located within approximately 5 cm from the input voltage source. This capacitor is used to provide damping to the voltage spiking due to the lead inductance of the cable or trace. The value for this capacitor is not critical but must be rated to handle the maximum input voltage including ripple. For this design, one 2.2 µF, X7R dielectric capacitor rated for 50 V is used for the input decoupling capacitor. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is approximately 10 mΩ, and the current rating is 1 A. Include a capacitor with a value of 0.1 µF for high-frequency filtering and place it as close as possible to the device pins.
