OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION

A ceramic output capacitor of 10 µF, 6.3V is sufficient for most applications. Use X7R or X5R types; do not use

Y5V. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and

0603. DC bias characteristics vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and dc bias curves should be requested

from them as part of the capacitor selection process.

The minimum output capacitance to specify good performance is 5.75 µF at 1.8V dc bias including

tolerances and over ambient temperature range. The output filter capacitor smoothes out current flow from

the inductor to the load, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces

output voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low ESR to

perform these functions.

can be calculated as:

Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to capacitance can be expressed as follow:

(9)

Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to ESR can be expressed as follow:

Because these two components are out of phase the rms (root mean squared) value can be used to get an

approximate value of peak-to-peak ripple.

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage, rms value can be expressed as follow:

(10)

Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series

is at the switching frequency of the part.
