PRODUCTION DATA
The output capacitor value depends on the total series resistance of the LED string, rD, and the switching frequency, fSW. The capacitance required for the target LED ripple current, ΔiLED, is calculated using Equation 23.
When choosing the output capacitors, consider the ESR and ESL characteristics because they directly impact the LED current ripple. Ceramic capacitors are the best choice due to the following:
With ceramic capacitor technology, consider the derating factors associated with higher temperature and DC bias operating conditions. TI recommends an X7R dielectric with a voltage rating greater than maximum LED stack voltage.
