ADVANCE INFORMATION for pre-production products; subject to change without notice.
The input capacitor, CIN, filters the primary-side triangular current waveform. To prevent large ripple voltage, use a low-ESR ceramic input capacitor sized according to Equation 24 for the RMS ripple current given by Equation 25. In this design example, choose a 4.7-µF, 100-V ceramic input capacitor with X7S dielectric and 1210 footprint.
