Hello,
I wish to be
able to determine the minimum number of capacitors required and typical
values to be used on the input and output of a voltage regulator, to
achieve a desired noise ripple (and a minimum amount of soldering).
Can anyone recommend a well explained decent text?
Thankyou

Have you looked through App notes
at Linear technologies and Analog Devices? I'd start from there.

Hello Darcy,
For most of the regulators a single capacitor is required at the input
and 1-2 are required at the output. The capacitors should have the right
ESR (Not too high - ripple, but also not too low - for stability), the
right technology (Usually X7R, X5R) for temperature stability. In the
device's data sheet, there are usually recommendations for the capacitance
value and the required ESR.
Hope this helps.
