maximum output current. Higher inductance results in lower
output voltage ripple, allowing slightly higher ESR to satisfy the
transient specification. Higher inductance also slows the inductor
current slew rate in response to the load-current step change, ΔI,
resulting in more output-capacitor voltage droop. When using
electrolytic capacitors, the capacitor voltage droop is usually
negligible, due to the large capacitance

performance specifications. Effective Series Resistance (ESR) is a
critical parameter. When a step load current occurs, the output
voltage will have a step that equals the product of the ESR and the
current step, ΔI. In an advanced microprocessor power supply, the
output capacitor is usually selected for ESR instead of capacitance
or RMS current capability. A capacitor that satisfies the ESR
requirements usually has a larger capacitance and current capability
than strictly needed. The allowed ESR can be found by:
load current step change, and V
excursion in the transient.
are less stable with age than tantalum capacitors. As they age, their
ESR degrades, reducing the system performance and increasing the
risk of failure. It is recommended that multiple parallel capacitors
be used, so that, as ESR increase with age, overall performance
will still meet the processor’s requirements.
components possible, however, this could lead to degraded long-
term reliability, especially in the case of filter capacitors.
Microsemi’s demonstration boards use the CDE Polymer AL-EL
(ESRE) filter capacitors, which are aluminum electrolytic, and
have demonstrated reliability. The OS-CON series from Sanyo
generally provides the very best performance in terms of long term
ESR stability and general reliability, but at a substantial cost
penalty. The CDE Polymer AL-EL (ESRE) filter series provides
excellent ESR performance at a reasonable cost. Beware of off-
brand, very low-cost filter capacitors, which have been shown to
degrade in both ESR and general electrolytic characteristics over
time.
