Use Equation 36 to estimate the output capacitance required to manage the output voltage overshoot
during a load-off transient (from full load to no load) assuming a load transient
deviation specification of 5% (250mV for a 5V output).
Equation 36.
Noting the voltage coefficient of ceramic
capacitors where the effective capacitance decreases significantly with applied voltage,
select four 47µF, 10V, X7S, 1210 ceramic output capacitors. Generally, when sufficient
capacitance is used to satisfy the load-off transient response requirement, the voltage
undershoot during a no-load to full-load transient is also satisfactory.
Use Equation 37 to estimate the peak-peak output voltage ripple at nominal input voltage.
Equation 37.
where
RESR is the effective
equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitors.
82µF is the total effective (derated)
ceramic output capacitance at 5V.
Use Equation 38 to calculate the output capacitor RMS ripple current using and verify that the ripple
current is within the capacitor ripple current rating.
