Application Information (Continued)
The power dissipated by each input capacitor is:
Here, n is the number of capacitors, and indicates that power
loss in each cap decreases rapidly as the number of input
caps increase. The worst-case ripple for a Buck converter
occurs during full load, when the duty cycle D = 50%.
In the 5V to 1.2V case, D = 1.2/5 = 0.24. With a 10A
maximum load the ripple current is 4.3A. The Sanyo
10MV5600AX aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a ripple
current rating of 2.35A, up to 105˚C. Two such capacitors
make a conservative design that allows for unequal current
sharing between individual caps. Each capacitor has a maxi-
mum ESR of 18m
Ω at 100 kHz. Power loss in each device is
then 0.05W, and total loss is 0.1W. Other possibilities for
input and output capacitors include MLCC, tantalum,
OSCON, SP, and POSCAPS.
INPUT INDUCTOR
The input inductor serves two basic purposes. First, in high
power applications, the input inductor helps insulate the
input power supply from switching noise. This is especially
important if other switching converters draw current from the
same supply. Noise at high frequency, such as that devel-
oped by the LM2742 at 1MHz operation, could pass through
the input stage of a slower converter, contaminating and
possibly interfering with its operation.
An input inductor also helps shield the LM2742 from high
frequency noise generated by other switching converters.
The second purpose of the input inductor is to limit the input
current slew rate. During a change from no-load to full-load,
the input inductor sees the highest voltage change across it,
equal to the full load current times the input capacitor ESR.
This value divided by the maximum allowable input current
slew rate gives the minimum input inductance:
In the case of a desktop computer system, the input current
slew rate is the system power supply or "silver box" output
current slew rate, which is typically about 0.1A/µs. Total input
capacitor ESR is 9m
Ω, hence ∆V is 10*0.009 = 90 mV, and
the minimum inductance required is 0.9µH. The input induc-
tor should be rated to handle the DC input current, which is
approximated by:
In this case I
IN-DC is about 2.8A. One possible choice is the
TDK SLF12575T-1R2N8R2, a 1.2µH device that can handle
8.2Arms, and has a DCR of 7m
Ω.
OUTPUT INDUCTOR
The output inductor forms the first half of the power stage in
a Buck converter. It is responsible for smoothing the square
wave created by the switching action and for controlling the
output current ripple. (
∆I
o) The inductance is chosen by
selecting between tradeoffs in output ripple, efficiency, and
response time. The smaller the output inductor, the more
quickly the converter can respond to transients in the load
current. If the inductor value is increased, the ripple through
the output capacitor is reduced and thus the output ripple is
reduced. As shown in the efficiency calculations, a smaller
inductor requires a higher switching frequency to maintain
the same level of output current ripple. An increase in fre-
quency can mean increasing loss in the FETs due to the
charging and discharging of the gates. Generally the switch-
ing frequency is chosen so that conduction loss outweighs
switching loss. The equation for output inductor selection is:
A good range for
∆I
o is 25 to 50% of the output current. In the
past, 30% was considered a maximum value for output
currents higher than about 2Amps, but as output capacitor
technology improves the ripple current can be allowed to
increase. Plugging in the values for output current ripple,
input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency, and as-
suming a 40% peak-to-peak output current ripple yields an
inductance of 1.5µH. The output inductor must be rated to
handle the peak current (also equal to the peak switch
current), which is (Io + 0.5*
∆I
o). This is 12A for a 10A design.
The Coilcraft D05022-152HC is 1.5µH, is rated to 15Arms,
and has a DCR of 4m
Ω.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
The output capacitor forms the second half of the power
stage of a Buck switching converter. It is used to control the
output voltage ripple (
∆V
o) and to supply load current during
fast load transients.
In this example the output current is 10A and the expected
type of capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic, as with the
input capacitors. (Other possibilities include ceramic, tanta-
lum, and solid electrolyte capacitors, however the ceramic
type often do not have the large capacitance needed to
supply current for load transients, and tantalums tend to be
more expensive than aluminum electrolytic.) Aluminum ca-
pacitors tend to have very high capacitance and fairly low
ESR, meaning that the ESR zero, which affects system
stability, will be much lower than the switching frequency.
The large capacitance means that at switching frequency,
the ESR is dominant, hence the type and number of output
capacitors is selected on the basis of ESR. One simple
formula to find the maximum ESR based on the desired
output voltage ripple,
∆V
o and the designed output current
ripple,
∆I
o, is:
In this example, in order to maintain a 2% peak-to-peak
output voltage ripple and a 40% peak-to-peak inductor cur-
rent ripple, the required maximum ESR is 6m
Ω. Three Sanyo
10MV5600AX capacitors in parallel will give an equivalent
ESR of 6m
Ω. The total bulk capacitance of 16.8mF is
