8.2.2.7 Input Capacitor

The input capacitor should be large enough to limit the input voltage ripple and can be calculated using Equation 17.

Equation 17. GUID-76C78576-FFC5-4B70-9DD9-B06CE1B0B0E8-low.gif

Choosing a ΔVIN = 0.5 V gives a minimum CIN = 0.12 μF. A standard value of 1 μF is selected for CIN = C4. The input capacitor should be rated for the maximum input voltage under all conditions. A 50-V, X7R dielectric should be selected for this design.

The input capacitor should be placed directly across VIN and RTN (pin 2 and 1) of the IC. If it is not possible to place all of the input capacitor close to the IC, a 0.1-μF capacitor should be placed near the IC to provide a bypass path for the high-frequency component of the switching current. This helps limit the switching noise.
