9.2.1.2.5 Input Capacitor

Input capacitor should have enough ripple current rating to absorb input switching ripple current. The worst case RMS ripple current is half of the charging current when duty cycle is 0.5. If the converter does not operate at 50% duty cycle, then the worst case capacitor RMS current occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50% and can be estimated by Equation 6:

Equation 6. BQ24725A eq6_lusa79.gif

Low ESR ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is preferred for input decoupling capacitor and should be placed to the drain of the high side MOSFET and source of the low side MOSFET as close as possible. Voltage rating of the capacitor must be higher than normal input voltage level. 25V rating or higher capacitor is preferred for 19-20V input voltage. 10-20μF capacitance is suggested for typical of 3-4A charging current.

Ceramic capacitors show a dc-bias effect. This effect reduces the effective capacitance when a dc-bias voltage is applied across a ceramic capacitor, as on the input capacitor of a charger. The effect may lead to a significant capacitance drop, especially for high input voltages and small capacitor packages. See the manufacturer's data sheet about the performance with a dc bias voltage applied. It may be necessary to choose a higher voltage rating or nominal capacitance value in order to get the required value at the operating point.
