3.4.2.9 Input Capacitor Selection
Similar to a boost converter, the SEPIC has an inductor at the input. Hence, the input current waveform is continuous and triangular. The inductor ensures that the input capacitor sees fairly low ripple currents. The RMS current in the input capacitor is given by:
Equation 16. 
The input capacitor should be capable of handling the RMS current. Although the input capacitor is not so critical in a SEPIC application, a 10 μF or higher value, good quality capacitor would prevent impedance interactions with the input supply.
