660µF may be used. Alternatively, one 15m
220µF, 330µF or 470µF capacitor may be used (with
the appropriate change to the calculation for C
depending upon the load transient requirements.
Next we calculate the RMS input ripple current, which is
largest at the minimum battery voltage:
For our example:
I
Input capacitors should be selected with sufficient ripple
current rating for this RMS current, for example a 10µF,
1210 size, 25V ceramic capacitor can handle
approximately 3A
sheets.
Finally, we calculate the current limit resistor value. As
described in the current limit section, the current limit
looks at the “valley current”, which is the average output
current minus half the ripple current. We use the
maximum room temperature specification for MOSFET
R
The ripple at low battery voltage is used because we want
to make sure that current limit does not occur under
normal operating conditions.
For our example:
I
We select the next lowest 1% resistor value: 7.68k
