Q: What happens if the capacitance is too small in DC Power Supplies? A: Too little capacitance increases ripple, weakens load response, and may cause resets or EMI.

During the time between the load transient and the turn-on of the P-MOSFET, the output capacitor must supply all of the current required by the load. This current supplied by the output capacitor results in

As noted, you don''t have much room for inductance to remain reasonably well damped from capacitor ESR alone, so you''ll probably need to add some ESR, either as a chip resistor on
