Reducing PFM Output Ripple
PFM output ripple amplitude can be reduced by adding
external C
Reduced output ripple also results in less DC voltage
excursion at very light loads. Maximum PFM ripple occurs at
no load and is V
Note:

The effective value of external C
amplitude can be determined using:

The simplified equation above is representative of nominal
component values and does not account for device
tolerances. The bias level effects associated with case size,
voltage rating, and dielectric type of ceramic capacitors
should be considered when selecting C

The switching frequency drops when the regulator cannot
provide sufficient duty cycle at 6MHz to maintain regulation.
Lowering the switching frequency allows V
regulation, even at very low or very high duty cycle.

PCB Layout Guideline
FB (pin 5) must be directly connected to VOUT (pin 4).
Figure 29 shows the recommended locations of optional C
and C
Pad P1, shown in Figure 30 “Land Pattern,” is an optional
GND pin. Connection is not required on the PCB.
