PRODUCTION DATA
Using Equation 11, the minimum inductor value is 12μH. A value of 15μH is chosen for this design.
When using ceramic output filer capacitors, the recommended LC resonant frequency must be no more than 7 kHz. Because the output inductor is already selected at 15μH, this limits the minimum output capacitor value to:
The minimum capacitor value is calculated to be 34 μF. For this circuit a larger value of capacitor yields better transient response. A single 100μF output capacitor is used for C3. MAke sure to note that the actual capacitance of ceramic capacitors decreases with applied voltage. In this example, the output voltage is set to 3.3V, minimizing this effect.
