Validation and Calculating the Output Capacitance Upper Limit

This appendix contains the table of validation results for the methods proposed in this document and examples using Excel or MATLAB to calculate the output capacitance upper limit.

Note: For VOUT = 12-V application, if CO is bigger than the high limit, add the feedforward capacitor Cff to the boost phase margin. For Cff selection, see Stability Analysis and Design of Internally-Compensated Peak Current Mode TPS62933 - Part II: How to Select the Feedforward Capacitor application note.

If Microsoft Excel is used to calculate the output capacitance upper limit, first input parameters using the following format:

  • Change the variable name of value A2-E2 to the name A1-E1.
  • Input the following equation in F2. Input “=” first, then copy and paste the expression of output capacitance upper limit for 45 degree phase margin:
    (50*(111936*IOUT - 4460544))/(441013* IOUT *VOUT*(422400/ IOUT + (8954880000/ IOUT + 178421760000/ IOUT ^2 + (2500* VIN ^2* fsw ^2)/(24649*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)^2) - (3180000* VIN *fsw)/(157*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) + (84480000* VIN * fsw)/(157* IOUT *(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) - (267632640000* VIN * fsw)/(8321* IOUT ^2*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) + (10560000* VIN ^2* fsw ^2)/(1306397* IOUT *(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)^2) + (11151360000* VIN ^2* fsw ^2)/(69239041* IOUT ^2*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)^2) + 112360000)^(1/2) - (50* VIN * fsw)/(157*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) - (105600* VIN * fsw)/(8321* IOUT *(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) + 10600))
  • Now the output capacitance upper limit for 45 degree phase margin can be calculated with Excel.

If MATLAB is used, implement the following code (as an example):

VIN=12;
VOUT=5;
IOUT=3;
fsw=500e3;
L=6.8e-6;
Cout_upper=(50*(111936*IOUT - 4460544))/(441013* IOUT *VOUT*(422400/ IOUT + (8954880000/ IOUT + 178421760000/ IOUT ^2 + (2500* VIN ^2* fsw ^2)/(24649*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)^2) - (3180000* VIN *fsw)/(157*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) + (84480000* VIN * fsw)/(157* IOUT *(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) - (267632640000* VIN * fsw)/(8321* IOUT ^2*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) + (10560000* VIN ^2* fsw ^2)/(1306397* IOUT *(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)^2) + (11151360000* VIN ^2* fsw ^2)/(69239041* IOUT ^2*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)^2) + 112360000)^(1/2) - (50* VIN * fsw)/(157*(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) - (105600* VIN * fsw)/(8321* IOUT *(4356000*L + VIN - 2* VOUT)) + 10600))
