7.2.2.7 CO Selection

None of the required CO output capacitance is contained within the module. A minimum value of 200 μF is required based on the values of internal compensation in the error amplifier. Low ESR tantalum, organic semiconductor or specialty polymer capacitor types are recommended for obtaining lowest ripple. The output capacitor CO can consist of several capacitors in parallel placed in close proximity to the module. The output capacitor assembly must also meet the worst case minimum ripple current rating of 0.5 × ILRP-P, as calculated in Equation 14. Beyond that, additional capacitance will reduce output ripple so long as the ESR is low enough to permit it. Loop response verification is also valuable to confirm closed loop behavior.

For applications with dynamic load steps; the following equation provides a good first pass approximation of CO for load transient requirements. Where VO-Tran is 100 mV on a 3.3-V output design.

Equation 8. CO ≥ IO-Tran / (VO-Tran – ESR × IO-Tran) × (Fsw / VO)

Solving:

Equation 9. CO ≥ 4.5 A / (0.1 V – 0.007 × 4.5 A) × ( 800000 Hz / 3.3 V) ≥ 271 μF
Note:

The stability requirement for 200-µF minimum output capacitance takes precedence.

One recommended output capacitor combination is a 220-µF, 7-mΩ ESR specialty polymer cap in parallel with a 100-µF, 6.3-V X5R ceramic. This combination provides excellent performance that can exceed the requirements of certain applications. Additionally some small ceramic capacitors can be used for high-frequency EMI suppression.
