7.2.1.2.3 Input Capacitors

The TPS5430 requires an input decoupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor. The recommended value for the decoupling capacitor, C1, is 10 μF. A high quality ceramic type X5R or X7R is required. For some applications, a smaller value decoupling capacitor can be used, so long as the input voltage and current ripple ratings are not exceeded. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage, including ripple.

This input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 2 :

Equation 2. GUID-958CBFAE-734E-4F45-A105-3FF540CE1BCA-low.gif

Where IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current, fSW is the switching frequency, CIN is the input capacitor value and ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance of the input capacitor.

The maximum RMS ripple current also needs to be checked. For worst case conditions, this can be approximated by Equation 3 :

Equation 3. GUID-4FFEA816-054F-43B5-9AF5-B520489BB42D-low.gif

In this case the input ripple voltage can be 156 mV and the RMS ripple current can be 1.5 A. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors can be VIN max plus delta VIN/2. The chosen input decoupling capacitor is rated for 25 V and the ripple current capacity is greater than 3 A, providing ample margin. It is very important that the maximum ratings for voltage and current are not exceeded under any circumstance.

Additionally some bulk capacitance can be needed, especially if the TPS5430 circuit is not located within about 2 inches from the input voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical but it also must be rated to handle the maximum input voltage including ripple voltage and must filter the output so that input ripple voltage is acceptable.
