8.2.2.5 Output Capacitor

In boost mode, the output capacitor conducts high ripple current. The output capacitor RMS ripple current is given by Equation 11, where the minimum input voltage and the maximum output voltage correspond to the maximum capacitor current.

Equation 11. TPS55285

where

  • ICOUT(RMS) is the RMS current through the output capacitor
  • IOUT is the output current

In this example, the maximum output ripple RMS current is 2.8A.

The ESR of the output capacitor causes an output voltage ripple given by Equation 12 in boost mode.

Equation 12. TPS55285

where

  • RCOUT is the ESR of the output capacitance

The capacitance also causes a capacitive output voltage ripple given by Equation 13 in boost mode. When input voltage reaches the minimum value and the output voltage reaches the maximum value, there is the largest output voltage ripple caused by the capacitance.

Equation 13. TPS55285

Typically, a combination of ceramic capacitors and bulk electrolytic capacitors is needed to provide low ESR, high ripple current, and small output voltage ripple. From the required output voltage ripple, use Equation 12 and Equation 13 to calculate the minimum required effective capacitance of the COUT.
