Use the following equation to estimate the output
capacitance required to manage the output voltage overshoot during a load-off
transient (from full load to no load) assuming a load transient deviation
specification of 1% .
Equation 44.
Noting the voltage coefficient of ceramic
capacitors where the effective capacitance decreases significantly with applied
voltage, select four 47µF, 10V, 1210 ceramic output capacitors. Generally, when
sufficient capacitance is used to satisfy the load-off transient response
requirement, the voltage undershoot during a no-load to full-load transient is
also satisfactory.
Use the following equation to estimate the
peak-peak output voltage ripple at nominal input voltage.
Equation 45.
where
RESR is the
effective equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output
capacitors.
94µF is the total
effective (derated) ceramic output capacitance at 5V.
Use the following equation to calculate the
output capacitor RMS ripple current and verify that the ripple current is within
the capacitor ripple current rating.
