LM2671 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure (Fixed Output) (Continued)

PROCEDURE (Fixed Output Voltage Version)

EXAMPLE (Fixed Output Voltage Version)

4. Input Capacitor (C

IN)

A low ESR aluminum or tantalum bypass capacitor is needed

between the input pin and ground to prevent large voltage

transients from appearing at the input. This capacitor should be

located close to the IC using short leads. In addition, the RMS

current rating of the input capacitor should be selected to be at

least 1⁄2 the DC load current. The capacitor manufacturer data

sheet must be checked to assure that this current rating is not

exceeded. The curves shown in Figure 14 show typical RMS

current ratings for several different aluminum electrolytic

capacitor values. A parallel connection of two or more

capacitors may be required to increase the total minimum RMS

current rating to suit the application requirements.

For an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the voltage rating should

be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. Caution must

be exercised if solid tantalum capacitors are used. The tantalum

capacitor voltage rating should be twice the maximum input

voltage. The tables in Figure 15 show the recommended

application voltage for AVX TPS and Sprague 594D tantalum

capacitors. It is also recommended that they be surge current

tested by the manufacturer. The TPS series available from AVX,

and the 593D and 594D series from Sprague are all surge

current tested. Another approach to minimize the surge current

stresses on the input capacitor is to add a small inductor in

series with the input supply line.

Use caution when using ceramic capacitors for input bypassing,

because it may cause severe ringing at the V

IN pin.

4. Input Capacitor (C

IN)

The important parameters for the input capacitor are the input

voltage rating and the RMS current rating. With a maximum

input voltage of 12V, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a

voltage rating greater than 15V (1.25 x V

IN) would be needed.

The next higher capacitor voltage rating is 16V.

The RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor in a

buck regulator is approximately 1⁄2 the DC load current. In this

example, with a 500 mA load, a capacitor with a RMS current

rating of at least 250 mA is needed. The curves shown in Figure

14 can be used to select an appropriate input capacitor. From

the curves, locate the 16V line and note which capacitor values

have RMS current ratings greater than 250 mA.

For a through hole design, a 100 µF/16V electrolytic capacitor

(Panasonic HFQ series, Nichicon PL, Sanyo MV-GX series or

equivalent) would be adequate. Other types or other

manufacturers’ capacitors can be used provided the RMS ripple

current ratings are adequate. Additionally, for a complete

surface mount design, electrolytic capacitors such as the Sanyo

CV-C or CV-BS and the Nichicon WF or UR and the NIC

Components NACZ series could be considered.

For surface mount designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be

used, but caution must be exercised with regard to the capacitor

surge current rating and voltage rating. In this example,

checking Figure 15, and the Sprague 594D series datasheet, a

Sprague 594D 15 µF, 25V capacitor is adequate.

5. Boost Capacitor (C

This capacitor develops the necessary voltage to turn the switch

gate on fully. All applications should use a 0.01 µF, 50V ceramic

capacitor.

5. Boost Capacitor (C

For this application, and all applications, use a 0.01 µF, 50V

ceramic capacitor.

6. Soft-Start Capacitor (C

SS - optional)

This capacitor controls the rate at which the device starts up.

The formula for the soft-start capacitor C

SS is:

6. Soft-Start Capacitor (C
