7.2.2.3 Input Capacitor

In buck mode, the input capacitor supplies high ripple current. The RMS current in the input capacitors is given by Equation 14.

Equation 9. TPSM852892

where

  • ICIN(RMS) is the RMS current through the input capacitor
  • IOUT is the output current

The maximum RMS current occurs at the output voltage is half of the input voltage, which gives ICIN(RMS) = IOUT / 2. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for their low ESR and high ripple current capability. A total of 20µF effective capacitance is a good starting point for this application. Add a 0.1μF/0402 package ceramic capacitor and place it close to VIN pin and GND pin to suppress high frequency noise which helps improve EMI performance. Add one aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a typical value of 100μF for stabilized input DC voltage during transient occasions.
