Input capacitor

The input capacitor has to sustain the ripple current produced during the on time of the

upper MOS, so it must have a low ESR to minimize the losses.

The rms value of this ripple is:

Equation 11

Where D is the duty cycle. The equation reaches its maximum value with D = 0.5.

The losses in worst case are:

Equation 12

Compensation network design

The control loop is a voltage mode (Figure 9 on page 19) that uses a droop function to

satisfy the requirements for a VRM module, reducing the size and the cost of the output

capacitor.

This method "recovers" part of the drop due to the output capacitor ESR in the load

transient, introducing a dependence of the output voltage on the load current: at light load

the output voltage will be higher than the nominal level, while at high load the output voltage

will be lower than the nominal value.
