The LM27342(buck convertor) datasheet says:
"The recommended input capacitance is 10µF, Make sure to verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage"

My input voltage is 24v, so I chose an input capacitor rated 10uF/50V. But the capacitor's dc-bias graph shows that its capacitance will reduce 37%(reduce to 6v) at 24v dc bias. Much less than the 10uF input capacitance.

Does it mean I have to choose another capacitor to make sure its capacitance is 10uF at 24v dc-bias(24v input voltage)?

The 10uF/50v capacitor is TDK C5750X7R1H106K(230KB), its capacitance-voltage graph is shown below

Yes, the maximum input voltage is 20V.
The 10uF capacitor will work as 4.7uF is still ok according to the datasheet.

I would put in parallel aluminum
electrolytic capacitor.
The datasheet strongly recommends MLCC capacitors, aluminum electrolytic may not be approppriate for this high frequency buck due to its high ESL.
 

Yeah, sure, I understand that. Therefore, in parallel with MLCC.

VIN Supply Voltage +32 V
Up to 1.5A output current
No need for external pulse generator
as a variant 2 * C5750X7R1H685K250KA 5.7x5.0 C=6.8uF

Thank you all. My input voltage is 10v, I mistyped the 24v.
