For our example:
ERR
R
We will select a value of 12.5mΩ maximum for our de-
sign, which would be achieved by using two 25mΩ output
capacitors in parallel.
Note that for constant-on converters there is a minimum
ESR requirement for stability which can be calculated as
follows:
This criteria should be checked once the output
capacitance has been determined.
Now that we know the output ESR we can calculate the
output ripple voltage:
and,
For our example:
V
Note that in order for the device to regulate in a controlled
manner, the ripple content at the feedback pin, V
be approximately 15mV
case no smaller than 10mV
15mV
in order to improve this. Quite often a small capacitor,
C
tor, R
should not be greater than 100pF. The value of C
be calculated as follows, where R
