The input capacitors smooth the input voltage ripple. Assuming high-quality ceramic capacitors are used for the input capacitors, the maximum input voltage ripple which happens when the input voltage is half of the output voltage can be calculated as follows:
The value of input capacitor is also a function of source impedance, the impedance of source power supply. The more input capacitor will be required to prevent a chatter condition upon power up if the impedance of source power supply is not enough low.
