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.
A capacitor with an appropriate ripple current and working voltage rating should be chosen. Polarity and Reverse Voltage – If an electrolyte capacitor is used in the circuit, it must be connected in the correct direction. Its reverse voltage rating should be at least twice the possible reverse voltage in that branch of the circuit.
The first objective in selecting input capacitors is to reduce the ripple voltage amplitude seen at the input of the module. This reduces the rms ripple current to a level which can be handled by bulk capacitors. Ceramic capacitors placed right at the input of the regulator reduce ripple voltage amplitude.
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. The distribution bus impedance seen by the load is the parameter that determines the peak voltage deviation during a fast transient.
In general, low-ESR capacitors are good choices. They provide excellent energy storage and improve the transient performance. However, if the overall impedance of the output capacitor network is too low, the dynamic response of the regulator can be adversely affected.
Until the regulator can increase the load current to the new value, the deficit must come from the output capacitors. Capacitors all have some parasitic series resistance (ESR). Any current flowing in the capacitor must also flow through the ESR. This causes a voltage drop due to the I×ESR product.
