ripple-current requirement (I
switching currents as defined by the following equations:
for (N x D) ≤ 1:
for (N x D) > 1.
where N is the number of phases, D is the duty cycle,
and I
Use the minimum input voltage for calculating the duty
cycle to obtain the worst-case input-capacitor RMS rip-
ple current. Low-ESR aluminum electrolytic, polymer, or
ceramic capacitors should be used to avoid large volt-
age transients at the input during a large step load
change at the output. The ripple-current specifications
provided by the manufacturer should be carefully
reviewed for temperature derating. Additional small-
value, low-ESL ceramic capacitors (1μF to 10μF with
proper voltage rating) can be used in parallel to reduce
any high-frequency ringing.
The minimum output capacitance, C
required to meet load-dump requirements. The worst-
case load dump is a sudden transition from full load

output voltage reached during the load dump. The
above equation is an approximation, and the output
capacitance value obtained serves as a good starting
point. The final value should be obtained from actual
measurements. For ceramic output capacitors, the out-
put capacitor requirement is determined mostly by load
dump requirements due to their low ESR and ESL. See
Figures 7 and 8.
The MAX8686 uses an internal transconductance error
amplifier whose output compensates the control loop.
