PRODUCTION DATA
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirement for the output ripple and loop stability. This ripple voltage is related to capacitor capacitance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated with Equation 6:
where
The additional part of the ripple caused by ESR is calculated using: Vripple_ESR = IOUT × RESR
Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR could be neglected for ceramic capacitors, a 1µF to 4.7µF capacitor is recommended for typical application.
