15A Step-Down Regulator with Internal Switches
With most chemistries (polymer, tantalum, aluminum
electrolytic), the actual capacitance value required
relates to the physical size needed to achieve low ESR
and the chemistry limits of the selected capacitor tech-
nology. Ceramic capacitors provide low ESR, but the
capacitance and voltage rating (after derating) are
determined by the capacity needed to prevent V
and V
sients. Generally, once enough capacitance is added to
meet the overshoot requirement, undershoot at the ris-
ing load edge is no longer a problem (see the V
V
Thus, the output capacitor selection requires carefully
balancing capacitor chemistry limitations (capacitance
vs. ESR vs. voltage rating) and cost. See Figure 9.
For Quick-PWM controllers, stability is determined by the
in-phase feedback ripple relative to the switching frequen-
cy, which is typically dominated by the output ESR. The
boundary of instability is given by the following equation:
where C
total ESR of the output capacitors, R
board resistance between the output capacitors and
feedback sense point, and R
tance of the DC- or AC-coupled current-sense compen-
sation (see Figure 11).

For a standard 300kHz application, the effective zero
frequency must be well below 95kHz, preferably below
50kHz. With these frequency requirements, standard
tantalum and polymer capacitors already commonly
used have typical ESR zero frequencies below 50kHz,
allowing the stability requirements to be achieved with-
out any additional current-sense compensation. In the
standard application circuit (Figure 1), the ESR needed
to support a 15mV
5mΩ. Two 330μF, 9mΩ polymer capacitors in parallel
provide 4.5mΩ (max) ESR and 1/(2π x 330μF x 9mΩ) =
53kHz ESR zero frequency. See Figure 10.
