The output capacitor must supply the current when the high-side switch is off. Use the minimum input voltage to calculate the output capacitance needed. This is when the duty cycle and the peak-to-peak current in the output capacitor are the maximum. Using the 1% voltage ripple specification and Equation 9, COUTmin is 15 μF. Use Equation 10 to calculate the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output-voltage ripple specification. Equation 10 indicates the ESR should be less than 20.8 mΩ. In this case, the ESR of the ceramic capacitor is much smaller than 20.8 mΩ.
An output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current must be specified. Some capacitor data sheets specify the RMS value of the maximum ripple current. Use Equation 11 to calculate the RMS ripple current that the output capacitor must support. For this application, Equation 11 yields 2.08 A for the output capacitor.
