Use Equation 11 to estimate the peak-peak output voltage ripple at nominal input voltage.
Equation 11.
Equation 12.
where
- ΔILO is the desired
peak-to-peak ripple inductor current. For this example, a 20A rated device with K =
0.3 yields an inductor ripple current of 5.2A.
- RESR is the effective
equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitors.
- 80µF is the total effective (derated)
ceramic output capacitance at 5V.
