7.2.2.6 C9, C10

The output capacitors, C9 and C10, smooth the inductor ripple current and provide a source of charge for transient loading conditions. For this design, a 22-µF ceramic capacitor and a 150-µF SP organic capacitor were selected. The ceramic capacitor provides ultra-low ESR to reduce the output ripple voltage and noise spikes, while the SP capacitor provides a large bulk capacitance in a small volume for transient loading conditions. Use Equation 13 to calculate an approximation for the output ripple voltage.
