RTL8111C
Datasheet
From the output side measured at Pin 1, the voltage ripple must be within 100mV. Choosing different
types and values of output capacitor (C18, C19) and power inductor (L20) will seriously affect the
efficiency and output voltage ripple of switching regulators. The following figures show the effects of
different types of capacitors on the switching regulator’s output voltage.
The blue square wave signal (top row) is measured at the output of SROUT12 (Pin1) before the power
inductor (L20). The yellow signal (second row) is measured after the power inductor (L20), and shows
there is a voltage ripple. The green signal (lower row) is the current. Data in the following figures was
measured at gigabit speed.
