8.2.2.4 Selecting the Output Capacitors

The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirements at load transient or steady state. Then the loop is compensated for the output capacitor selected. The output ripple voltage is related to the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor and its capacitance. Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated by Equation 9:

Equation 9. GUID-F0690600-3F6F-4120-99A1-3F60F3F3E606-low.gif

where

  • COUT is the output capacitor
  • IOUT is the output current
  • VOUT is the output voltage
  • VIN is the input voltage
  • ΔV is the output voltage ripple required
  • ƒSW is the switching frequency

The additional output ripple component caused by ESR is calculated by Equation 10:

Equation 10. GUID-9374C2C9-462B-4642-92BE-F74AB83AAF95-low.gif

where

  • ΔVESR is the output voltage ripple caused by ESR
  • RESR is the resistor in series with the output capacitor

For the ceramic capacitor, the ESR ripple can be neglected. However, for the tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, it must be considered if used.

Care must be taken when evaluating the rating of a ceramic capacitor under the DC bias. Ceramic capacitors can derate by as much as 70% of its capacitance at its rated voltage. Therefore, enough margins on the voltage rating should be considered to ensure adequate capacitance at the required output voltage.
