Component Selection
Input Capacitor Selection
with large switching noise. Using an input bypass capacitor
reduces the peak current transients drawn from the input
supply
significantly. The capacitance needed for the input bypass
capacitor depends on the source impedance of the input
supply. The RMS capacitor current is calculated as:
with maximum output current, which is I
for most of the cases. For effective bypass results, the input
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the V
pin.
Inductor Value Selection
desired ripple current. The relationship between the
inductance and the inductor ripple current is given by the
equation below.
to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to
prevent core saturation. For NCP1510A, the compensation
is internally fixed and a fixed 6.8 mH inductor is needed for
most of the applications. For better efficiency, choose a low
DC resistance inductor.
Output Capacitor Selection
desired output ripple voltage. Ceramic capacitors with low
ESR values will have the lowest output ripple voltage and
are strongly recommended. The output ripple voltage is
given by:
In PWM operating mode, the input current is pulsating
where:
D = duty cycle, which equals V
The maximum RMS current occurs at 50% duty cycle
A low profile ceramic capacitor of 10 mF should be used
Selecting the proper inductor value is based on the
The DC current of the inductor should be at least equal

effective series resistance of the output capacitor. A low
ESR, 22 mF ceramic capacitor is recommended for
NCP1510A in most of applications. For example, with
TDK C2012X5R0J226 output capacitor, the output ripple
is less than 10 mV at 300 mA.
