Filter Capacitor Selection
a) CAPACITOR TECHNOLOGIES
The three major technologies of capacitors that can be used
as filter capacitors for LM3355 are: i) tantalum, ii) ceramic
and iii) polymer electrolytic technologies.
i) Tantalum
Tantalum capacitors are widely used in switching regulators.
Tantalum capacitors have the highest CV rating of any tech-
nology; as a result, high values of capacitance can be ob-
tained in relatively small package sizes. It is also possible to
obtain high value tantalum capacitors in very low profile
(<1.2 mm) packages. This makes the tantalums attractive
for low-profile, small size applications. Tantalums also pos-
sess very good temperature stability; i.e., the change in the
capacitance value, and impedance over temperature is rela-
tively small. However, the tantalum capacitors have relatively
high ESR values which can lead to higher voltage ripple and
their frequency stability (variation over frequency) is not very
good, especially at high frequencies (>1 MHz).
ii) Ceramic
Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR of the three tech-
nologies and their frequency stability is exceptionally good.
These characteristics make the ceramics an attractive
choice for low ripple, high frequency applications. However,
the temperature stability of the ceramics is bad, except for
the X7R and X5R dielectric types. High capacitance values
(>1
µF)
are
achievable
from
companies
such
as
Taiyo-yuden which are suitable for use with regulators. Ce-
ramics are taller and larger than the tantalums of the same
capacitance value.
iii) Polymer Electrolytic
Polymer electrolytic is a third suitable technology. Polymer
capacitors provide some of the best features of both the
ceramic and the tantalum technologies. They provide very
low ESR values while still achieving high capacitance val-
ues. However, their ESR is still higher than the ceramics,
and their capacitance value is lower than the tantalums of
the same size. Polymers offer good frequency stability (com-
parable to ceramics) and good temperature stability (compa-
rable to tantalums). The Aluminum Polymer Electrolytics
offered by Cornell-Dubilier and Panasonic, and the POS-
CAPs offered by Sanyo fall under this category.
Table 1 compares the features of the three capacitor tech-
nologies.

b) CAPACITOR SELECTION
i) Output Capacitor (C
OUT)
The output capacitor C
OUT directly affects the magnitude of
the output ripple voltage so C
OUT should be carefully se-
lected. The graphs titled V
OUT Ripple vs. COUT in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section show how the ripple
voltage magnitude is affected by the C
OUT value and the
capacitor technology. These graphs are taken at the gain at
which worst case ripple is observed. In general, the higher
the value of C
OUT, the lower the output ripple magnitude. At
lighter loads, the low ESR ceramics offer a much lower V
OUT
ripple than the higher ESR tantalums of the same value. At
higher loads, the ceramics offer a slightly lower V
OUT ripple
magnitude than the tantalums of the same value. However,
the dv/dt of the V
OUT ripple with the ceramics and polymer
electrolytics is much lower than the tantalums under all load
conditions. The tantalums are suggested for very low profile,
small size applications. The ceramics and polymer electro-
lytics are a good choice for low ripple, low noise applications
where size is less of a concern.
ii) Input Capacitor (C
IN)
The input capacitor C
IN directly affects the magnitude of the
input ripple voltage, and to a lesser degree the V
OUT ripple.
A higher value C
IN will give a lower VIN ripple. To optimize
low input and output ripple as well as size a 10 µF polymer
electrolytic or ceramic, or 15 µF tantalum capacitor is rec-
ommended. This will ensure low input ripple at 50 mA load
current. If lower currents will be used or higher input ripple
can be tolerated then a smaller capacitor may be used to
reduce the overall size of the circuit. The lower ESR ceram-
ics and polymer electrolytics achieve a lower V
IN ripple than
the higher ESR tantalums of the same value. Tantalums
make a good choice for small size, very low profile applica-
tions. The ceramics and polymer electrolytics are a good
choice for low ripple, low noise applications where size is
less of a concern. The 10 µF polymer electrolytics are physi-
cally much larger than the 15 µF tantalums and 10 µF
ceramics.
