6 FAQs about [Capacitance of conventional output capacitors]

What are output capacitors?

Output capacitors are a key component in switching power supplies — used to store the charge and for smoothing, so its selection plays a vital role in determining overall performance and its reliability. The designer now can choose between tantalum, ceramic MLCC, NbO niobium oxide and aluminum capacitors.

How to select an output capacitor?

・When selecting an output capacitor, the rated voltage, rated ripple current, and ESR are important parameters. ・In addition to smoothing and regulation, output capacitors are also closely related to the output ripple voltage. In succession to selection of inductors, we turn to a discussion of capacitor selection.

Do capacitors meet non-Intel processor requirements?

Part 2 will describe capacitor types and value to meet output impendence requirements, and also high rate repetitive load transient specifications. Analytical and experimental results show that output capacitors selection is optimized for load transient and output impedance, to fulfill non-Intel processor requirements.

What parameters should be included in the selection of output capacitors?

The most important parameters are the magnitude of the load transient (ΔI) and the distributed bus impedance to the load. The selection of the output capacitors is determined by the allowable peak voltage deviation (ΔV). This limit should reflect the actual requirements, and should not be specified lower than needed.

How to choose a capacitor?

Based on the input voltage, the input current RMS current, and the input voltage peak-to-peak ripple you can choose the capacitor looking at the capacitor datasheets. It is recommended to use a combination of Aluminum Electrolytic (AlEl) and ceramic capacitors.
