Output and Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer
ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have
extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A
2.2 F to 10 F output capacitor is sufficient for most
applications. Larger values up to 22 F may be used to
obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve
transient response. An additional phase lead capacitor
may be required with output capacitors larger than 10 F

to maintain acceptable phase margin. X5R and X7R
dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to main-
tain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges.
Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise
and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It
follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice for
input decoupling and should be located as close as pos-
sible to the device. A 4.7 F input capacitor is sufficient for
virtually any application. Larger values may be used with-
out limitations. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic
capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers di-
rectly for detailed information on their entire selection of
ceramic parts.

Output Diode
Use a Schottky diode such as an MBR0520L, CMDSH2-3,
1N5817 or equivalent if the converter output voltage is 4.5V
or greater. The Schottky diode carries the output current for
the time it takes for the synchronous rectifier to turn on. Do
not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since the slow recovery
times will compromise efficiency. A Schottky diode is
optional for output voltages below 4.5V, but will increase
converter efficiency by 2% to 3%.
