The PWM allows the use of small ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest
output voltage ripple and are recommended. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric. At
light load currents, the converter operates in Power Save Mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on
the output capacitor value and the PFM peak inductor current. Because the PWM converter has a pulsating input
current, a low ESR input capacitor is required on PMID for the best voltage filtering to ensure proper function of
the device and to minimize input voltage spikes. For most applications a 10-µF capacitor value is sufficient. The
PMID capacitor can be increased to 22 µF for better input voltage filtering.

9.3.22 Load Switch / LDO Output and Control
The device integrates a low Iq load switch which can also be used as a regulated output. The LSCTRL pin can
be used to turn the load on or off. Activating LSCTRL continuously holds the switch in the on state so long as
there is not a fault. The signal is active HI and has a low threshold making it capable of interfacing with low
voltage signals. To limit voltage drop or voltage transients, a small ceramic capacitor must be placed close to
VINLS. Due to the body diode of the PMOS switch, it is recommended to have the capacitor on VINLS ten times
larger than the output capacitor on LS/LDO.
The output voltage is programmable using the LS_LDO bits in the register. The LS/LDO voltage is calculated
using
LS/LDO = 0.8 V + LS_LDOCODE x 100 mV
(9)
If a value greater than 3.3 V is written, the setting goes to pass-through mode where LS/LDO = VINLS -
