8 / 13 page AOZ3015PI Rev. 2.0 July 2013 www.aosmd.com Page 8 of 13 For reliable operation and best performance, the input capacitors must have a current rating higher than ICIN_RMS at the worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR and high current rating. Depending on the application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitors may be used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R type dielectric ceramic capacitors should be used for their better temperature and voltage characteristics. Note that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures are based on a certain operating life time. Further de-rating may need to be considered for long term reliability. Inductor The inductor is used to supply constant current to output when it is driven by a switching voltage. For a given input and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency together decide the inductor ripple current, which is: The peak inductor current is: High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also reduces RMS current through inductor and switches, which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to peak ripple current on the inductor is designed to be 20 % to 40 % of output current. When selecting the inductor, confirm it is able to handle the peak current without saturation at the highest operating temperature. The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit. The conduction loss on the inductor needs to be checked for thermal and efficiency requirements. Surface mount inductors in different shape and styles are available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata. Shielded inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise. However, they cost more than unshielded inductors. The choice depends on EMI requirement, price and size. Output Capacitor The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and ripple current rating. The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated voltage specification than the maximum desired output voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be considered for long term reliability. Output ripple voltage specification is another important factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation below: where, CO is output capacitor value, and ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor. When a low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as the output capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly caused by capacitor value and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to: If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to: For lower output ripple voltage across the entire operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum capacitors are recommended as output capacitors. In a buck converter, output capacitor current is continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current.
