8.2.2.14 LLC Output Capacitors

The LLC converter topology does not require an output filter. Use a small second stage filter inductor to reduce peak-to-peak output ripple. Assuming that the output capacitors carry the full wave output current of the rectifier, the capacitor ripple current rating is:

Equation 47. I R E C T = π 2 2 I O U T = π 2 2 × 15 = 16.66 A

In this design, capacitors with 20V rating are used for 12V output voltage:

Equation 48. V L L C c a p = 20 V

The capacitor RMS current rating is:

Equation 49. I C o u t = π 2 2 I O U T 2 - I O U T 2 = π 2 2 × 15 2 - 15 2 = 7.251 A

Solid aluminum capacitors with conductive polymer technology have high ripple-current ratings and are a good choice, especially if the design is required to operate at colder temperatures. Connect multiple capacitors in parallel if the ripple-current rating for a single capacitor is not sufficient.

The ripple voltage at the output of the LLC stage is a function of the amount of AC current that flows in the capacitors. To estimate the ripple voltage, assume that all the current, including the DC current in the load, flows in the filter capacitors.

Equation 50. E S R m a x = V O U T p k - p k I R E C T p k = 0.12 v 2 π 4 × 15 A = 5.1 m Ω

The capacitor specifications are:

  • Voltage rating: 20V
  • Ripple current rating: 7.251A
  • Effective ESR: < 5.1mΩ
