The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors. Ceramic capacitors placed right at the input of the regulator reduce ripple voltage amplitude.
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the amount and type of capacitance can vary. The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors.
The most important parameters are the magnitude of the load transient (ΔI) and the distributed bus impedance to the load. The selection of the output capacitors is determined by the allowable peak voltage deviation (ΔV). This limit should reflect the actual requirements, and should not be specified lower than needed.
When SMD components are used together with leaded ones, the film capacitors should not pass into the SMD adhesive curing oven. The leaded components should be assembled after the SMD curing step. Leaded film capacitors are not suitable for reflow soldering.
Bulk capacitors control the voltage deviation at the input when the converter is responding to an output load transient. The higher the capacitance, the lower the deviation. Therefore, the size of the input bulk capacitor is determined by the size of the output current transient and the allowable input voltage deviation.
Basically the most im-portant result is that heat is transferred most readily in the axial direction from the hot-spot of the capacitor to the can bottom. Special construction known as “ex-tended cathode” may be used in the capacitor winding and assembly to improve the thermal contact between the winding and the can bottom.
