Again, using a low ESR capacitor will result in lower ripple.

CAPACITOR SELECTION

The output resistance and ripple voltage are dependent on the capacitance and ESR values of the external

capacitors. The output voltage drop is the load current times the output resistance, and the power efficiency is

output voltage ripple, and the converter efficiency. Low ESR capacitors (following table) are recommended to

maximize efficiency, reduce the output voltage drop and voltage ripple.
