APPLICATION INFORMATION

A capacitor of at least 1

µF is required between the

output of the SS6714 and ground for stability.

Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Even

though most types of capacitor may work, the

equivalent series resistance (ESR) should be held

to 5

Ω or less if an aluminum electrolytic type is

used. Many aluminum electrolytic capacitors have

electrolytes that freeze at about -30

°C, so solid

tantalum capacitors are recommended for operation

below -25

°C. The value of this capacitor may be

increased without limit.

A capacitor of at least 0.1

µF should be placed from

the input of the SS6714 to ground if the lead

inductance between the input and power source

exceeds 500nH (approximately 10 inches of trace).
