9.2.2.3.5 Output Capacitor Selection for SW1, SW2

A 10-μF, 6.3-V ceramic capacitor must be used on the output of the SW1 and SW2 magnetic DC-DC converters. The output capacitor must be mounted as close to the output of the device as possible. A large value may be used for improved input voltage filtering. The recommended capacitor types are X7R or X5R. Y5V type capacitors should not be used. 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 and analyzed as part of the capacitor selection process.

The output filter capacitor of the magnetic DC-DC converter smooths 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 ESD to perform these functions.

The output voltage ripple is caused by the charging and discharging of the output capacitor and also due to its ESR and can be calculated as follows:

Equation 9. LP3907 30017832.gif

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

Equation 10. VPP–ESR = 2 × IRIPPLE × RESR

Because the VPP-C and VPP-ESR are out of phase, the rms value can be used to get an approximate value of the peak-to-peak ripple:

Equation 11. LP3907 30017833.gif

Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor (RESR). The RESR is frequency dependent as well as temperature dependent. Calculate the RESR with the applicable switching frequency and ambient temperature.
