7.2.2.5 Output Capacitor Selection (C9)

The selection of the output capacitor is typically driven by the output transient response. The Equation 23 and Equation 24 overestimate the voltage deviation to account for delays in the loop bandwidth and can be used to determine the required output capacitance:

Equation 41. GUID-40CCF184-C059-4ABF-93F3-EA728D97989E-low.gif
Equation 26. GUID-2BF5E6EB-C8E6-4E26-834C-D8C2C9032585-low.gif

If VIN(min) > 2 x VOUT, use overshoot to calculate minimum output capacitance. If VIN(min) < 2 x VOUT, use undershoot to calculate minimum output capacitance.
