In a dynamic load application, the allowable deviation
of the output voltage during the fast transient load dic-
tates the output capacitance value and the ESR. The
output capacitors supply the step-load current until the
controller responds with a greater duty cycle. The

loop bandwidth of the converter. The resistive drop
across the capacitor ESR and capacitor discharge
cause a voltage droop during a step-load. Use a com-
bination of low-ESR tantalum and ceramic capacitors
for better transient load and ripple/noise performance.
Use the following equations to calculate the deviation of
output voltage due to the ESR and capacitance value
of the output capacitor:
