• Smoothing Capacitor
The smoothing capacitor is an indispensable element for reducing ripple voltage in output. In selecting a smooth- ing capacitor it is essential to consider equivalent series resistance (ESR) and allowable ripple current. Higher ESR means higher ripple voltage, so that to reduce ripple voltage it is necessary to select a capacitor with low ESR. However, the use of a capacitor with low ESR can have substantial effects on loop phase characteristics, and therefore requires attention to system stability. Care should also be taken to use a capacity with sufficient margin for allowable ripple current. This application uses the
Equivalent Series Resistance : ESR
ESR ≤ ΔVO − 1
ΔIL 2πfCL
Capacitance value : CL
ΔIL
CL ≥ 2πf (ΔVO − ΔIL ⋅ ESR)
Ripple current : ICLrms (VIN − VO) ton

2√3L
Example: Using the 6SVP82M
Rated voltage = 6.3 V, ESR = 50 mΩ, maximum allowable ripple current = 1570 mArms
