Output Capacitor Selection

The value of the output capacitor and its ESR determine the output voltage ripple and load transient performance. The output capacitor is usually determined by the load transient requirements rather than the output voltage ripple. Table 9-3 can be used to find the output capacitor and CFF selection for a few common applications. Note that a 1-kΩ RFF can be used in series with CFF to further improve noise performance. In this example, improved transient performance is desired giving 2 × 47-µF ceramic as the output capacitor and 22 pF as CFF.

Table 9-3 Recommended Output Ceramic Capacitors and CFF Values
Frequency Transient Performance 3.3-V Output 5-V Output
Ceramic Output Capacitance CFF Ceramic Output Capacitance CFF
2.1 MHz Minimum 3 × 22 µF 10 pF 2 × 22 µF 22 pF
2.1 MHz Better Transient 2 × 47 µF 33 pF 3 × 22 µF 33 pF
400 kHz Minimum 3 × 47 µF 4.7 pF 2 × 47 µF 10 pF
400 kHz Better Transient 3 × 47 µF 33 pF 3 × 47 µF 33 pF

To minimize ceramic capacitance, a low-ESR electrolytic capacitor can be used in parallel with minimal ceramic capacitance. As a starting point for designing with an output electrolytic capacitor, Table 9-4 shows the recommended output ceramic capacitance CFF values when using an electrolytic capacitor.

400 kHz Minimum 2 × 47 µF ceramic + 1 × 470 µF, 100-mΩ electrolytic 10 pF 3 × 22 µF ceramic + 1 × 470 µF, 100-mΩ electrolytic 10 pF
400 kHz Better Transient 3 × 47 µF ceramic + 2 × 280 µF,100-mΩ electrolytic 33 pF 4 × 22 µF ceramic + 1 × 560 µF, 100-mΩ electrolytic 22 pF

Most ceramic capacitors deliver far less capacitance than the rating of the capacitor indicates. Be sure to check any capacitor selected for initial accuracy, temperature derating, and voltage derating. Table 9-3 and Table 9-4 have been generated assuming typical derating for 16-V, X7R, automotive grade capacitors. If lower voltage, non-automotive grade, or lower temperature rated capacitors are used, more capacitors than listed are likely to be needed.
