RTL8111C
Datasheet
A ceramic 22µF (X5R) will have a lower voltage ripple compared to the electrolytic 100µF. The key to
choosing a proper output capacitor is to choose the lowest ESR to reduce the output voltage ripple.
Choosing a ceramic 22µF 0805 (Y5V) in this case will cause malfunction of the switching regulator.
Placing several Electrolytic capacitors in parallel will help lower the output voltage ripple.
