7.2.2.4 Output Capacitor Selection

The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirement for the output ripple and loop stability. A 1-µF to 2.2-µF capacitor is recommended for the loop stability consideration. This ripple voltage is related to the capacitor’s capacitance and its ESR. Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR could be neglected for ceramic capacitors. Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the output ripple can be calculated with Equation 7.

Equation 7. TPS61162A TPS61163A

where

  • Vripple = peak-to-peak output ripple.

The additional part of ripple caused by the ESR is calculated using Vripple_ESR = IOUT x RESR and can be ignored for ceramic capacitors.

Note that capacitor degradation increases the ripple much. Select the capacitor with 50-V rated voltage to reduce the degradation at the output voltage. If the output ripple is too large, change a capacitor with less degradation effect or with higher rated voltage could be helpful.
