Equation 37
The worst case for the output voltage ripple is when input voltage is lower (V
A simple way to select the C
In order to affect as less as possible the current generators, it would be better to fix the
maximum ripple lower than the typical voltage across the generators.
For example considering ΔV
leading generator), the required capacitance is:
Equation 38
A margin from the calculated value should be taken into account because of the
capacitance drop due to the applied voltage when MLCCs are used.
A 4.7 µF MLCC can be a good choice for this application (two 2.2 μF MLCC in parallel can
be also a good solution).
In case a dimming duty cycle different from 100 % is used, a further contribution to the
capacitor discharge (during the off time of the dimming cycle) should be considered.
Input capacitor choice
The input capacitor of a boost converter is less critical than the output capacitor, due to the
fact that the inductor is in series with the input, and hence, the input current waveform is
continuous.
A low ESR capacitor is always recommended.
A capacitor of 10 µF is tentatively a good choice for most of the applications.
Over-voltage protection divider setting
The over-voltage protection (OVP) divider provides a partition of the output voltage to the
OVSEL pin. The OVP divider setting not only fixes the OVP threshold, but also the open-
channel detection threshold (95 % of the OVP threshold).
The proper OVP divider setting can be calculated by the equation (3):
