7.2.3.15 Input Capacitor Cin

Input capacitors are always required to provide a stable input voltage. The input capacitors being able to handle the inductor ripple current is necessary.

The single phase boost input RMS ripple current is expressed as,

Equation 89. Iin_1p_rms=Ipp12

The input capacitor is also an important part of the input filter. Higher capacitance and ESR help damping the input filter better. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a good choice for input capacitor with high capacitance and ESR. Refer to Input Filter Design for Switching Power Supplies application note for more details.
