Equation 15

Usually the resistive component of the ripple is much higher than the capacitive one, if the

output capacitor adopted is not a multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with very low ESR

value.

The output capacitor is important also for loop stability: it fixes the double LC filter pole and

the zero due to its ESR. Section 6.4 illustrates how to consider its effect in the system

stability.

For example, with VOUT=5 V, VIN=24 V, ΔIL=0.9 A (resulting from the inductor value), in order

to have a

ΔVOUT=0.01·VOUT, if the multi-layer ceramic capacitors are adopted, 10 µF are

needed and the ESR effect on the output voltage ripple can be neglected. In the case of

non-negligible ESR (electrolytic or tantalum capacitors), the capacitor is chosen taking into

account its ESR value. So, in case of 330 µF with ESR=30 m

Ω, the resistive component of

the drop dominates and the voltage ripple is 28 mV

The output capacitor is also important to sustain the output voltage when a load transient

with high slew rate is required by the load. When the load transient slew rate exceeds the

system bandwidth, the output capacitor provides the current to the load. So, if the high slew

rate load transient is required by the application, the output capacitor and system bandwidth

must be chosen in order to sustain the load transient.

In Table 8 some capacitor series are listed.

Compensation network

The compensation network must assure stability and good dynamic performance. The loop

of the L7986TA is based on the voltage mode control. The error amplifier is a voltage

operational amplifier with high bandwidth. So, by selecting the compensation network the

E/A is considered as ideal, that is, its bandwidth is much larger than the system one.

The transfer functions of the PWM modulator and the output LC filter are studied (see

Figure 9). The transfer function of the PWM modulator, from the error amplifier output

(COMP pin) to the OUT pin, results:
