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 8 and Equation 9 to estimate the amount of capacitance needed for a given dynamic load step and release.
There are other factors that can impact the amount of output capacitance for a specific design, such as ripple and stability.
where
Most of the above parameters can be found in Table 8-1.
The minimum output capacitance to meet the undershoot requirement is 516 µF. The minimum output capacitance to meet the overshoot requirement is 1238 µF. This example uses a combination of POSCAP and MLCC capacitors to meet the overshoot requirement.
Recalculating the worst case overshoot using the described capacitor bank design, the overshoot is 29.0 mV which meets the 30-mV overshoot specification requirement.
