Output Capacitor Selection

The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirement for the output ripple and loop stability. This ripple voltage is related to capacitance and capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated with

Equation 8. C O U T = V O U T - V I N × I O U T V O U T × F S × V r i p p l e

where

  • Vripple = peak-to-peak output ripple

The additional part of the ripple caused by ESR is calculated using: Vripple_ESR = IOUT × RESR

Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR could be neglected for ceramic capacitors, a 1µF to 4.7µF capacitor is recommended for typical application.
