only ceramic output capacitors are used for COUT then a
CFF is necessary. Calculate CFF from:
CFF
=
------------------------1--------------------------
2    80kHz  R1
where:
R1 is the resistor that CFF is placed in parallel with
80kHz is the location of the Zero formed by R1 and CFF
Note that minimum required COUT is 140uF when using
ceramic capacitors.
When using capacitors with higher ESR, such as PANA-
SONIC TPE series, a CFF is not required provided following
conditions are met:
1. The frequency of output filter LC double-pole fLC should
be less than 15kHz.
2. The frequency of ESR Zero fZero,ESR should be at least
three times larger than fLC.
As an example the application circuit has fLC=8.3kHz and
fZero,ESR=23.4kHz.
Note that the steady-state voltage ripple at feedback pin FB
(VFB,RIPPLE) must not exceed 50mV in order for Module to
function correctly. If VFB,RIPPLE is larger than 50mV then
COUT should be increased as necessary in order to keep
the VFB,RIPPLE below 50mV.
Feed-Forward Resistor (RFF)
Poor PCB layout can cause FET switching noise at the out-
put and may couple to the FB pin via CFF. Excessive noise
at FB will cause poor load regulation. To solve this problem
place a resistor RFF in series with CFF. RFF value up to 2%
of R1 is acceptable.
