SLDS261A November 2019 – February 2021 TPS6521815
PRODUCTION DATA
The hysteretic PWM control scheme of the TPS6521815 switching converters allows the use of tiny ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest output voltage ripple and are recommended. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric.
At light load currents the converter operates in power save mode, and the output voltage ripple is dependent on the output capacitor value and the PFM peak inductor current. Higher output capacitor values minimize the voltage ripple in PFM Mode and tighten DC output accuracy in PFM mode.
The two battery backup converters (DCDC5 and DCDC6) always operate in PFM mode. For these converters, a capacitor of at least 20 µF is recommended on the output to help minimize voltage ripple.
The buck-boost converter requires additional output capacitance to help maintain converter stability during high load conditions. At least 40 µF of output capacitance is recommended and an additional 100-nF capacitor can be added to further filter output ripple at higher frequencies.
Table 9-2 lists the recommended capacitors.
