Optimizing Capacitor Selection

Refer to Figure 1 for the total output resistance for various capacitance values and oscillator frequencies.

The reservoir and charge pump capacitor values are equal. The capacitance values required to maintain

comparable ripple and output resistance typically diminish proportionately as the pump frequency of

the SP6661 increases.
