APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
have lower storage capacity per unit volume than other
capacitor types. These capacitors offer a very cost-effec-
tive output capacitor solution and are an ideal choice when
combined with a controller having high loop bandwidth.
Tantalum capacitors offer the highest capacitance density
and are often used as output capacitors for switching
regulators having controlled soft-start. Several excellent
surge-tested choices are the AVX TPS, AVX TPSV or the
KEMET T510 series of surface mount tantalums, available
in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Aluminum
electrolytic capacitors can be used in cost-driven ap-
plications providing that consideration is given to ripple
current ratings, temperature and long term reliability. A
typical application will require several to many aluminum
electrolytic capacitors in parallel. A combination of the
aforementioned capacitors will often result in maximizing
performance and minimizing overall cost. Other capacitor
types include Nichicon PL series, NEC Neocap, Cornell
Dubilier ESRE and Sprague 595D series. Consult manu-
facturers for other specifi c recommendations.

of 4.7μF tantalum, 10μF special polymer, or low ESR type
electrolytic capacitor. A 1μF ceramic capacitor placed di-
rectly adjacent to the INTV
recommended. Good bypassing is necessary to supply
the high transient currents required by the MOSFET gate
drivers and to prevent interaction between channels.
Higher input voltage applications in which large MOS-
FETs are being driven at high frequencies may cause the
maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3728
to be exceeded. The system supply current is normally
dominated by the gate charge current. Additional external
loading of the INTV
needs to be taken into account for the power dissipation
calculations. The total INTV

on operating frequency, as discussed in the Effi ciency
Considerations section. The junction temperature can be
estimated by using the equations given in Note 2 of the
Electrical Characteristics. For example, the LTC3728 V
