RAMP RESISTOR AND RAMP CAPACITOR
The value of ramp capacitor (C
to allow full discharge between cycles by the discharge switch
internal to the LM5119. A good quality, thermally stable ce-
ramic capacitor with 5% or less tolerance is recommended.
For this design the value of C
capacitor value of 820pF. With the inductor, sense resistor
and the K factor selected, the value of the ramp resistor

The standard value of 73.2kΩ was selected.
OUTPUT CAPACITORS
The output capacitors smooth the inductor ripple current and
provide a source of charge during transient loading condi-
tions. For this design example, a 470µF electrolytic capacitor
with 10mΩ ESR was selected as the main output capacitor.
The fundamental component of the output ripple voltage is
approximated as:
Two 22µF low ERS / ESL ceramic capacitors are placed in
parallel with the 470µF electrolytic capacitor, to further reduce
the output voltage ripple and spikes.
