8.2.1.2.9 Response to a Load Transient

The output capacitance must supply the load with the required current when current is not immediately provided by the regulator. When the output capacitor supplies load current, the impedance of the capacitor greatly affects the magnitude of voltage deviation (such as undershoot and overshoot) during the transient.

Use Equation 6 and Equation 7 to calculate the minimum output capacitance to meet the undershoot and overshoot requirements. For this example, COUT(min_under) is 136-μF and 92-μF for COUT(min_over). In a real application, the value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to the capacitor. It is recommended to check the capacitor datasheet and account for the capacitance derating.

where

  • COUT(min_under) is the minimum output capacitance to meet the undershoot requirement
  • COUT(min_over) is the minimum output capacitance to meet the overshoot requirement
  • D is the duty cycle
  • L is the output inductance value (0.22 µH)
  • ∆ILOAD(max) is the maximum transient step (5 A)
  • VOUT is the output voltage value (1 V)
  • tSW is the switching period (0.833 µs)
  • VIN is the minimum input voltage for the design (12 V)
  • ∆VLOAD(insert) is the undershoot requirement (30 mV)
  • ∆VLOAD(release) is the overshoot requirement (30 mV)
