LTC3633A/LTC3633A-1
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
A 47µF ceramic capacitor should be sufficient for channel 1.
Solving the same equation for channel 2 (using 5% of
V_OUT for V_DROOP) results in 27µF of capacitance (22µF is
the closest standard value).
C_IN should be sized for a maximum current rating of:
I_RMS = 3A
1.8V₍13.2V − 1.8V₎
13.2V
=
1A
Solving this equation for channel 2 results in an RMS
input current of 1.3A. Decoupling each V_IN input with
a 47µF ceramic capacitor should be adequate for most
applications.
Lastly, the feedback resistors must be chosen. Picking R1
and R3 to be 12.1k, R2 and R4 are calculated to be:
R2
=
(12.1k)

R4
