8.2.2.4 Input Capacitor Selection

The ceramic input capacitors provide a low impedance source to the regulator in addition to supplying the ripple current and isolating switching noise from other circuits. A minimum ceramic capacitance of 2 × 4.7µF is required on the input of the regulator. Place one capacitor on each side of the package and connected directly to the VIN and GND pins of the device. This capacitance must be rated for at least the maximum input voltage that the application requires, preferably twice the maximum input voltage. The value can be increased to help reduce input voltage ripple and maintain the input voltage during load transients. In addition, high frequency bypass capacitors of 2 × 100nF ceramic capacitor must be used at the input. Place one capacitor on each side of the package and connected directly to the VIN and GND pins of the device. The 100nF high frequency input capacitors must be placed with 1mm of the VIN and PGND pins of the regulator. This requirement provides a high frequency bypass for the control circuits internal to the device.

For this example, 2 × 10µF, 50V, X5R (or better) ceramic capacitors are chosen. The 100nF capacitors must also be rated at 50V with an X7R (or better) dielectric.

Using an electrolytic capacitor on the input in parallel with the ceramics is often desirable. This statement is especially true if long leads or traces are used to connect the input supply to the regulator, or an input EMI filter is used. The moderate ESR of this capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by any inductance on the input. The use of this additional capacitor also helps with voltage dips caused by input supplies with unusually high impedance.

Most of the input switching current passes through the ceramic input capacitor or capacitors. The approximate RMS value of this current can be calculated from Equation 14 and must be checked against the manufacturers maximum ratings. For this example, the input capacitor RMS current is about 6A.
