Data Sheet
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BUCK EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION
Trade-offs between performance parameters such as efficiency
and transient response can be made by varying the choice of
external components in the applications circuit, as shown in
Figure 1.
Feedback Resistors
For the adjustable model, referring to Figure 49 the total
combined resistance for R1 and R2 is not to exceed 400 kΩ.
Inductor
The high switching frequency of the ADP5034 bucks allows for
the selection of small chip inductors. For best performance, use
inductor values between 0.7 μH and 3 μH. Suggested inductors
are shown in Table 8.
The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is calculated using
the following equation:
where:
f
L is the inductor value.
The minimum dc current rating of the inductor must be greater
than the inductor peak current. The inductor peak current is
calculated using the following equation:
Inductor conduction losses are caused by the flow of current
through the inductor, which has an associated internal dc
resistance (DCR). Larger sized inductors have smaller DCR,
which may decrease inductor conduction losses. Inductor core
losses are related to the magnetic permeability of the core material.
Because the bucks are high switching frequency dc-to-dc
converters, shielded ferrite core material is recommended for
its low core losses and low EMI.
Output Capacitor
Higher output capacitor values reduce the output voltage ripple
and improve load transient response. When choosing this value,
it is also important to account for the loss of capacitance due to
output voltage dc bias.

Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielec-
trics, each with a different behavior over temperature and
applied voltage. Capacitors must have a dielectric adequate
to ensure the minimum capacitance over the necessary
temperature range and dc bias conditions. X5R or X7R
dielectrics with a voltage rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are recom-
mended for best performance. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are
not recommended for use with any dc-to-dc converter because
of their poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.
The worst-case capacitance accounting for capacitor variation
over temperature, component tolerance, and voltage is calcu-
lated using the following equation:
where:
C
TEMPCO is the worst-case capacitor temperature coefficient.
TOL is the worst-case component tolerance.
In this example, the worst-case temperature coefficient
(TEMPCO) over −40°C to +85°C is assumed to be 15% for an
X5R dielectric. The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed
to be 10%, and C
Substituting these values in the equation yields
To guarantee the performance of the bucks, it is imperative
that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the
behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for each application.
