We will select a value of 12.5m
design, which would be achieved by using two 25m
output capacitors in parallel. Note that for constant-on
converters there is a minimum ESR requirement for
stability which can be calculated as follows:
This criteria should be checked once the output
capacitance has been determined.
Now that we know the output ESR we can calculate the
output ripple voltage:
and
For our example:

controlled manner, the ripple content at the feedback
pin, V

The minimum output capacitance is calculated as
follows:
This calculation assumes the absolute worst case
condition of a full-load to no load step transient occurring
when the inductor current is at its highest. The
capacitance required for smaller transient steps my be
calculated by substituting the desired current for the I
term.
