Application information
LDO input capacitor
A 1 µF input capacitor is required for the input of the LDO of the STCD22x0, STCD23x0 and
STCD24x0 (the amount of capacitance can be increased without limit). This capacitor must
be located as close as possible to the V
ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum or film capacitor can be used for this capacitor.
LDO output capacitor
A 1 µF external capacitor is required for the output VTCXO of the LDO of the STCD22x0,
STCD23x0 and STCD24x0. The STCD22x0, STCD23x0 and STCD24x0 are designed to
work with low ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors. Make sure the ESR is
lower than 500 mΩ to stabilize the VTCXO. Also, capacitor tolerance and variation with
temperature must be considered to assure the minimum amount of capacitance provided at
all times. This capacitor should be located as close as possible to the VTCXO pin on the PC
board.
LDO BYP pin
A 10 nF ceramic capacitor is required for the LDO BYP pin to ensure lower noise. Any good
quality ceramic, tantalum or film capacitor can be used. The capacitor should be located as
close as possible to the BYP pin on the PC board.
