8.2.1.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection

The output capacitor reduces the high-frequency current ripple through the LED string. Excessive current ripple increases the RMS current in the LED string, therefore increasing the LED temperature.

  1. Calculate the total dynamic resistance of the LED string (RLED) using the LED manufacturer data sheet.
  2. Calculate the required impedance of the output capacitor (ZOUT) given the acceptable peak-to-peak ripple current through the LED string, ILED(ripple). IL(ripple) is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current as calculated with the selected inductor.
  3. Calculate the minimum effective output capacitance required.
  4. Increase the output capacitance appropriately due to the derating effect of applied DC voltage.

See Equation 18, Equation 19, and Equation 20.

Equation 7. RLED=∆VF∆IF×# of LEDs
Equation 8. ZCOUT=RLED×ILED(ripple)IL(max)-ILED(ripple)
Equation 9. CCOUT=12π×fSW×ZCOUT

Once the output capacitor is chosen, use Equation 33 to estimate the peak-to-peak ripple current through the LED string.

Equation 10. ILED(ripple)=ZCOUT×IL(ripple)ZCOUT+RLED

Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of the low ESR and small temperature coefficients. In this design, a 10µF, 50V X7R ceramic capacitor is chosen.
