Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic output
capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than
a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
Feedback Resistor Selection
Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 4 program the output to
regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the bias
current required for the external feedback resistor string
while maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum
suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ. Although a larger value
will further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase
the impedance of the feedback node, making it more
sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 2
summarizes the resistor values for various output volt-
ages with R2 set to either 59kΩ for good noise immunity
or 221kΩ for reduced no load input current.

The AAT1149, combined with an external feedforward
capacitor (C3 in Figure 4), delivers enhanced transient
response for extreme pulsed load applications. The addi-
tion of the feedforward capacitor typically requires a
larger output capacitor C1 for stability.
