OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
A ceramic output capacitor of 10 µF, 6.3V is sufficient for most
applications. Use X7R or X5R types; do not use Y5V. DC bias
characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered
when selecting case sizes like 0603 and 0805. DC bias char-
acteristics vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and dc
bias curves should be requested from them as part of the ca-
pacitor selection process.
The minimum output capacitance to guarantee good per-
formance is 5.75 µF at 2.5V DC bias including tolerances
and over ambient temperature range. The output filter ca-
pacitor smooths out current flow from the inductor to the load,
helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load
changes and reduces output voltage ripple. These capacitors
must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently
low ESR to perform these functions.
The output voltage ripple is caused by the charging and dis-
charging of the output capacitor and by the RESR and can be
calculated as:
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to capacitance can be ex-
pressed as follows
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to ESR can be expressed as
follows
VPP-ESR = (2 * IRIPPLE) * RESR
Because these two components are out of phase the rms (root
mean squared) value can be used to get an approximate val-
ue of peak-to-peak ripple.
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple, rms can be expressed as follow:
Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the induc-
tor current ripple and the equivalent series resistance of the
output capacitor (RESR).
The RESR is frequency dependent (as well as temperature
dependent); make sure the value used for calculations is at
the switching frequency of the part.
