An output capacitor is required to filter the output voltage and is needed for loop stability. The capacitor must be placed near the LM2576 using short PCB traces. Standard aluminum electrolytics are usually adequate, but TI recommends low ESR types for low output ripple voltage and good stability. The ESR of a capacitor depends on many factors, including: the value, the voltage rating, physical size, and the type of construction. In general, low value or low voltage (less than 12 V) electrolytic capacitors usually have higher ESR numbers.
The amount of output ripple voltage is primarily a function of the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the output capacitor and the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (ΔIIND). See Section 8.1.3.
The lower capacitor values (220 μF to 1000 μF) allows typically 50 mV to 150 mV of output ripple voltage, while larger-value capacitors reduces the ripple to approximately 20 mV to 50 mV.
To further reduce the output ripple voltage, several standard electrolytic capacitors can be paralleled, or a higher-grade capacitor can be used. Such capacitors are often called high-frequency, low-inductance, or low-ESR. These reduces the output ripple to 10 mV or 20 mV. However, when operating in the continuous mode, reducing the ESR below 0.03 Ω can cause instability in the regulator.
Tantalum capacitors can have a very low ESR, and must be carefully evaluated if it is the only output capacitor. Because of their good low temperature characteristics, a tantalum can be used in parallel with aluminum electrolytics, with the tantalum making up 10% or 20% of the total capacitance.
The ripple current rating of the capacitor at 52 kHz must be at least 50% higher than the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
