PRODUCTION DATA
Typically, a combination of ceramic capacitors and bulk electrolytic capacitors is needed to provide low ESR, high ripple current capacity, and small output voltage ripple.
When input voltage reaches the minimum value , there is the largest output voltage ripple caused by the capacitance. From the required output voltage ripple, use the following equations to calculate the minimum required effective capacitance COUT:
where
DC bias effect: High-capacitance ceramic capacitors have a DC bias effect, which has a strong influence on the final effective capacitance. Therefore, the right capacitor value must be chosen carefully. The differences between the rated capacitor value and the effective capacitance result from package size and voltage rating in combination with material. A 10-V rated 0805 capacitor with 10 μF can have an effective capacitance of less than 5 μF at an output voltage of 5 V.
