The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors. Ceramic capacitors placed right at the input of the regulator reduce ripple voltage amplitude.
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the amount and type of capacitance can vary. The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors.
The following three factors are important when selecting the output capacitor. Of course the voltage and ripple current applied to a capacitor must be below the maximum ratings for the capacitor. The ESR is an important parameter that determines the output ripple voltage associated with the inductor current, and must be studied carefully.
The selection of the output capacitors is determined by the allowable peak voltage deviation (ΔV). This limit should reflect the actual requirements, and should not be specified lower than needed. The distribution bus impedance seen by the load is the parameter that determines the peak voltage deviation during a fast transient.
The most important parameters are the magnitude of the load transient (ΔI) and the distributed bus impedance to the load. The selection of the output capacitors is determined by the allowable peak voltage deviation (ΔV). This limit should reflect the actual requirements, and should not be specified lower than needed.
The output capacitance of a switching regulator is a vital part of the overall feedback system. The energy storage inductor and the output capacitor form a second-order low-pass filter. As the output voltage is sensed across both the filter and load impedance, they both affect the feedback control loop.
