For the boost converter, the output capacitor sup-
plies the load current when the main switch is on. The
required output capacitance is high, especially at higher
duty cycles.
Calculate the output capacitor (C
ing equation:
where V
supply voltage. Use a combination of low-ESR and high-
capacitance ceramic capacitors for lower output ripple
and noise.
The input current for the boost converter is continuous
and the RMS ripple current at the input capacitor is low.
Calculate the minimum input capacitor C
lowing equation:
where V
This equation assumes that input capacitors supply
most of the input ripple current.
Using a Schottky rectifier diode produces less forward drop
and puts the least burden on the MOSFET during reverse
recovery. A diode with considerable reverse-recovery time
increases the MOSFET switching loss. Select a Schottky
diode with a voltage rating 20% higher than the maximum
boost-converter output voltage and current rating greater
than that calculated in the following equation:
