PRODUCTION DATA.
Both the input and output capacitors are subject to steady state AC current and must be taken into consideration when calculating power losses. The next equation shown is the input capacitor ESR power loss.
The input capacitor power loss equation includes the effective series resistance or RESR_IN of the input capacitor. The power loss due to the ESR of the output capacitor is:
The output capacitor power loss equation includes the peak-to-peak inductor current, ΔIL, and the effective series resistance or RESR of the output capacitor.
