Use Equation 35 to estimate the output
capacitance required to manage the output voltage overshoot during a load-off transient
(from full load to no load) assuming a load transient deviation specification of 5% (250mV
for a 5V output).
Equation 35.
Noting the voltage coefficient of ceramic
capacitors where the effective capacitance decreases significantly with applied voltage,
select four 47µF, 10V, X7S, 1210 ceramic output capacitors. Generally, when sufficient
capacitance is used to satisfy the load-off transient response requirement, the voltage
undershoot during a no-load to full-load transient is also satisfactory.
Use Equation 36 to estimate the
peak-peak output voltage ripple at nominal input voltage.
Equation 36.
where
RESR is the effective
equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitors.
82µF is the total effective (derated)
ceramic output capacitance at 5V.
Use Equation 37 to calculate the output
capacitor RMS ripple current using and verify that the ripple current is within the
capacitor ripple current rating.
