A second criteria before finalizing the C
the RMS current capability. The necessary RMS current rat-
ing of the input capacitor to a buck regulator can be estimated
by
With this high AC current present in the input capacitor, the
RMS current rating becomes an important parameter. The
maximum input capacitor ripple voltage and RMS current oc-
cur at 50% duty cycle. Select an input capacitor rated for at
least the maximum calculated I
Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required
to damp any resonance effects of the input capacitance and
parasitic inductance.
Output Capacitor Selection
In general, 22 µF to 100 µF high quality dielectric (X5R, X7R)
ceramic capacitor rated at twice the maximum output voltage
is sufficient given the optimal high frequency characteristics
and low ESR of ceramic dielectrics. Although, the output ca-
pacitor can also be of electrolytic chemistry for increased
capacitance density.
Two output capacitance equations are required to determine
the minimum output capacitance. One equation determines
the output capacitance (C
The second equation determines C
sient characteristics. Select the largest capacitance value of
the two.
The minimum capacitance, given the maximum output volt-
age ripple (ΔV

In this particular design the output capacitance is determined
by the load transient requirements.
