8.2.3.2 Input Capacitor Selection

The device requires an input decoupling capacitor. A bulk capacitor is also needed, depending on the application. A ceramic capacitor over 10 µF is recommended for the decoupling capacitor. An additional 0.1-µF capacitor (C2) from VIN to GND is optional to provide additional high frequency filtering. The capacitor voltage rating needs to be greater than the maximum input voltage.

Use Equation 4 to calculate the input ripple voltage (ΔVIN).

Equation 4. GUID-10E09FF3-8A49-4AB2-8E19-94DABDB5CF18-low.gif

where:

  • CBULK is the bulk capacitor value
  • fSW is the switching frequency
  • IOUT(MAX) is the maximum loading current
  • ESRMAX is maximum series resistance of the bulk capacitor

The maximum RMS (root mean square) ripple current must also be checked. For worst case conditions, use Equation 5 to calculate ICIN(RMS).

The actual input-voltage ripple is greatly affected by parasitic associated with the layout and the output impedance of the voltage source. Table 8-1 show the actual input voltage ripple for this circuit, which is larger than the calculated value. This measured value is still below the specified input limit of 400 mV. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors is VIN (MAX) + ΔVIN / 2. The selected bypass capacitor is rated for 35 V and the ripple current capacity is greater than 2 A. Both values provide ample margin. The maximum ratings for voltage and current must not be exceeded under any circumstance.
