ZHCSIH9F March 2009 – July 2018 TPS65023-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The advanced fast-response voltage-mode control scheme of the inductive converters implemented in the TPS65023-Q1 allow the use of small ceramic capacitors with a typical value of 10 μF for each converter without having large output-voltage under- and overshoots during heavy load transients. Ceramic capacitors having low ESR values have the lowest output-voltage ripple and are recommended. See Table 13 for recommended components.
If ceramic output capacitors are used, the capacitor rms ripple-current rating always meets the application requirements. Just for completeness, the rms ripple current is calculated as:
At nominal load current, the inductive converters operate in PWM mode. The overall output-voltage ripple is the sum of the voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and discharging the output capacitor:
where
At light load currents, the converters operate in PSM and the output-voltage ripple is dependent on the output-capacitor value. The output-voltage ripple is set by the internal comparator delay and the external capacitor. The typical output-voltage ripple is less than 1% of the nominal output voltage.
