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.
For an output filter you choose a capacitor to handle the load transients and to minimize the output voltage ripple. The equation in Figure 3 shows the equation to determine the input current RMS (Root-Mean-Squared) current the capacitor can handle.
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.
The capacitor voltage ripple can be expressed as a ratio of the ripple to the total output voltage, CVRR. (4-1) where CVRR = V / VOUT Usually CVRR is limited to less than 1~2% of the output voltage. Each cycle, when the inductor current exceeds the output current, the output capacitor voltage increases.
Output Capacitor for a Buck Converter The output capacitor is defined based on the maximum permissible voltage ripple and based on the maximum permissible voltage change (V droop) resulting from a load step.
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.
