8.2.2.6 Input Capacitor

In buck mode, the input capacitor supplies high ripple current. The RMS current in the input capacitor is given by:

Equation 22. GUID-C47A1303-7105-4197-9A4C-74032B2B612F-low.gif

The maximum RMS current occurs at D = 0.5, which gives ICIN(RMS) = IOUT / 2 = 3 A. A combination of ceramic and bulk capacitors should be used to provide a short path for high di/dt current and to reduce the output voltage ripple. The complete schematic in Figure 8-1 is a good starting point for CIN for typical applications.
