where
• I_{LR P-P} is calculated using Equation 19 below.
(7)
ESR_MAX-OVP < (V_FB-OVP - V_FB) / (I_{LR P-P} x A_FB )
where
• A_FB is the gain of the feedback network from V_OUT to V_FB at the switching frequency.
(8)
As worst case, assume the gain of A_FB with the C_FF capacitor at the switching frequency is 1.
The selected capacitor should have sufficient voltage and RMS current rating. The RMS current through the
output capacitor is:
I(C_OUT(RMS)) = I_{LR P-P} / √12

INPUT CAPACITOR, C_IN, SELECTION
The LMZ14201H module contains an internal 0.47 µF input ceramic capacitor. Additional input capacitance is
required external to the module to handle the input ripple current of the application. This input capacitance should
be located as close as possible to the module. Input capacitor selection is generally directed to satisfy the input
ripple current requirements rather than by capacitance value. Worst case input ripple current rating is dictated by
Equation 10:
I(C_IN(RMS)) ≊ 1 / 2 x I_O x √ (D / 1-D)
where
• D ≊ V_O / V_IN
(10)
(As a point of reference, the worst case ripple current will occur when the module is presented with full load
current and when V_IN = 2 x V_O).
Recommended minimum input capacitance is 10uF X7R ceramic with a voltage rating at least 25% higher than
the maximum applied input voltage for the application. It is also recommended that attention be paid to the
voltage and temperature deratings of the capacitor selected. It should be noted that ripple current rating of
ceramic capacitors may be missing from the capacitor data sheet and you may have to contact the capacitor
manufacturer for this rating.
If the system design requires a certain maximum value of input ripple voltage ΔV_IN to be maintained then
Equation 11 may be used.
C_IN ≥ I_O x D x (1–D) / f_SW-CCM x ΔV_IN
(11)
If ΔV_IN is 1% of V_IN for a 24V input to 12V output application this equals 240 mV and f_SW = 400 kHz.
C_IN≥ 1A x 12V/24V x (1– 12V/24V) / (400000 x 0.240 V)
C_IN≥ 2.6μF
Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonant effects of the input
capacitance and parasitic inductance of the incoming supply lines.
ON TIME, R_ON, RESISTOR SELECTION
Many designs will begin with a desired switching frequency in mind. As seen in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section, the best efficiency is achieved in the 300kHz-400kHz switching frequency range.
Equation 12 can be used to calculate the R_ON value.
f_SW(CCM) ≊ V_O / (1.3 x 10^-10 x R_ON)
(12)
This can be rearranged as
R_ON ≊ V_O / (1.3 x 10 ^-10 x f_SW(CCM)
(13)
The selection of R_ON and f_SW(CCM) must be confined by limitations in the on-time and off-time for the COT Control
Circuit Overview section.
The on-time of the LMZ14201H timer is determined by the resistor R_ON and the input voltage V_IN. It is calculated
as follows:
t_ON = (1.3 x 10^-10 x R_ON) / V_IN
