PRODUCTION DATA
As with any switching power supply, the output of the TL2575 and TL2575HV devices have a sawtooth ripple voltage at the switching frequency. Typically about 1% of the output voltage, this ripple is due mainly to the inductor sawtooth ripple current and the ESR of the output capacitor (see Section 9.1.2.2). Furthermore, the output also may contain small voltage spikes at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform. This is due to the fast switching of the output switch and the parasitic inductance of COUT. These voltage spikes can be minimized through the use of low-inductance capacitors.
There are several ways to reduce the output ripple voltage: a larger inductor, a larger COUT, or both. Another method is to use a small LC filter (20 μH and 100 μF) at the output. This filter can reduce the output ripple voltage by a factor of 10 (see Figure 7-1).
