SLVSBX8B May 2013 – January 2019 TPS55330
PRODUCTION DATA.
At least 4.7µF of ceramic input capacitance is recommended. Additional input capacitance may be required to meet ripple and/or transient requirements. High quality ceramic, type X5R or X7R are recommended to minimize capacitance variations over temperature. The capacitor must also have an RMS current rating greater than the maximum RMS input current of the TPS55330 calculated with Equation 22. The input capacitor must also be rated greater than the maximum input voltage. The input voltage ripple can be calculated with Equation 23.
In the design example, the input RMS current is calculated to be 300 mA. The chosen input capacitor is a 10 µF, 25 V 1210 X7R with 3 mΩ ESR. Although one with a lower voltage rating can be used, a 25 V rated capacitor was chosen to limit the affects of dc bias and to allow it the circuit to be rated for the entire input range of the TPS55330. The input ripple is calculated to be 46 mV. An additional 0.1 µF, 50 V 0603 X5R is located close to the VIN and GND pins for extra decoupling.
