Applications Information (continued)

One simple way to solve this problem is to add trace resis-

tance in the high current output path. A side effect of

adding trace resistance is a decrease in load regulation.

ESR Requirements

A minimum ESR is required for two reasons. One reason is

to generate enough output ripple voltage to provide

10mVp-p at the FB pin (after the resistor divider) to avoid

double-pulsing.

The second reason is to prevent instability due to insuffi-

cient ESR. The on-time control regulates the valley of the

output ripple voltage. This ripple voltage is the sum of the

two voltages. One is the ripple generated by the ESR, the

other is the ripple due to capacitive charging and dis-

charging during the switching cycle. For most applica-

tions the minimum ESR ripple voltage is dominated by the

output capacitors, typically SP or POSCAP devices. For

stability the ESR zero of the output capacitor should be

lower than approximately one-third the switching fre-

quency. The formula for minimum ESR is shown by the

following equation.

Using Ceramic Output Capacitors

For applications using ceramic output capacitors, the ESR

is normally too small to meet the above ESR criteria. In

these applications it is necessary to add a small virtual ESR

network composed of two capacitors and one resistor, as

shown in Figure 14. This network creates a ramp voltage

across C

, analogous to the ramp voltage generated across

the ESR of a standard capacitor. This ramp is then capaci-

tively coupled into the FB pin via capacitor C
