Use Equation 38 to estimate the output capacitance required to manage the output voltage overshoot
during a load-off transient (from full load to no load) assuming a load transient
deviation specification of 1.5% (75 mV for a 5-V output).
Equation 38.
Noting the voltage coefficient of ceramic
capacitors where the effective capacitance
decreases significantly with applied voltage,
select four 47-µF, 10-V, X7R, 1210 ceramic output
capacitors. Generally, when sufficient capacitance
is used to satisfy the load-off transient response
requirement, the voltage undershoot during a
no-load to full-load transient is also
satisfactory.
Use Equation 39 to estimate the peak-peak output voltage ripple at nominal input voltage.
Equation 39.
where
RESR is the effective equivalent
series resistance (ESR) of the output
capacitors.
44 µF is the total effective (derated) ceramic
output capacitance at 5 V.
Use Equation 40 to calculate the output capacitor RMS ripple current using and verify that the ripple current is within the capacitor ripple current rating.
