PRODUCTION DATA.
The input capacitor is selected to handle the ripple current of the buck stage. A relatively large capacitance is used to keep the ripple voltage on the supply line low. This is especially important were the supply line has a high impedance. It is recommended that the supply line impedance be kept low. The input capacitor RMS current can be calculated using Equation 16.
The RMS current in the input capacitor is 3.56 A. Two 22-μF, size 1206 capacitors using X7R material has a typical dissipation factor of 5%. For a 22-μF capacitor at 300 kHz the ESR is approximately 5 mΩ. Two of these capacitors are used in parallel. The power dissipation in each capacitor is less than 16 mW. A 470-μF, 25-V electrolytic is added to maintain the voltage on the input rail.
