8.2.3.3.1 Minimum Output Capacitance to Ensure Stability

To prevent sub-harmonic multiple pulsing behavior, TPS548D22 application designs must strictly follow the small signal stability considerations described in Equation 7.

Equation 7. TPS548D22 eq_coutmin_slusc70.gif

where

  • COUT(min) is the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the stability requirement of the design
  • tON is the on-time information based on the switching frequency and duty cycle (in this design, 133 ns)
  • τ is the ramp compensation time constant of the design based on the switching frequency and duty cycle, (in this design, 13.45 µs, refer to Table 7)
  • LOUT is the output inductance (in the design, 0.25 µH)
  • VREF is the user-selected reference voltage level (in this design, 1 V)
  • VOUT is the output voltage (in this design, 1 V)

The minimum output capacitance calculated from Equation 7 is 28.6 µF. The stability is ensured when the amount of the output capacitance is 28.6 µF or greater. And when all MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic capacitors) are used, both DC and AC derating effects must be considered to ensure that the minimum output capacitance requirement is met with sufficient margin.
