8.2.2.4 Input Capacitor Selection

Input capacitors serve two important functions. The first is to reduce input voltage ripple into the LMR60440 and the input filter of the system. The second is to reduce high frequency noise. These two functions are implemented most effectively with separate capacitors. See Table 8-3.

Table 8-3 Input Capacitor
CAPACITORRECOMMENDED VALUECOMMENT
CIN_HF0.1µFThis capacitor is used to suppress high frequency noise originating during switching events. Place the capacitor as close to the LMR60440 devices as design rules allow. Position is more important than exact capacity. After high frequency propagates into a system, suppressing or filtering can be hard. Because this capacitor is exposed to battery voltage in systems that operate directly off of battery, TI recommends 50V or greater rating.
CIN4.7µFThis capacitance is used to suppress input ripple and transients due to output load transients. If CIN is too small, input voltage can dip during load transients resetting the system if the system is operated under low voltage conditions. TI recommends 4.7µF adjacent to the LMR60440 device. Because this capacitor is exposed to battery voltage in systems that operate directly off of battery, TI recommends 50V or greater rating.

The values of CIN_HF and CIN presented in Table 8-3 can be used in most applications. If a certain amount of input voltage ripple is required, Equation 14 can be used to calculate the required input capacitance.

Equation 14. CIN≥D×1-D×IOUT∆VIN_PP×fSW

Where:

  • D = Duty Cycle = VOUT/VIN
  • IOUT = DC output current
  • ΔVIN_PP = peak to peak input voltage ripple
  • fSW = switching frequency

Use Equation 15 to compare the RMS current rating of the selected input capacitors to make sure the input capacitors are capable of supplying the input switching current.

Equation 15. IIN_RMS_max=IOUT×D×1-D+112×VOUTL×fSW×IOUT2×1-D2×D
