LM2598 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure (Fixed Output)
4. Input Capacitor (C
A low ESR aluminum or tantalum bypass capacitor is needed
between the input pin and ground to prevent large voltage
transients from appearing at the input. In addition, the RMS
current rating of the input capacitor should be selected to be
at least
data sheet must be checked to assure that this current rating
is not exceeded. The curve shown in Figure 16 shows typical
RMS current ratings for several different aluminum electro-
lytic capacitor values.
This capacitor should be located close to the IC using short
leads and the voltage rating should be approximately 1.5
times the maximum input voltage.
If solid tantalum input capacitors are used, it is recomended
that they be surge current tested by the manufacturer.
Use caution when using ceramic capacitors for input bypass-
ing, because it may cause severe ringing at the V
For additional information, see section on input capaci-
tors in Application Information section.

4. Input Capacitor (C
The important parameters for the Input capacitor are the
input voltage rating and the RMS current rating. With a
nominal input voltage of 12V, an aluminum electrolytic ca-
pacitor with a voltage rating greater than 18V (1.5 x V
would be needed. The next higher capacitor voltage rating is
25V.
The RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor in
a buck regulator is approximately
this example, with a 1A load, a capacitor with a RMS current
rating of at least 500 mA is needed. The curves shown in
Figure 16 can be used to select an appropriate input capaci-
tor. From the curves, locate the 25V line and note which
capacitor values have RMS current ratings greater than 500
mA. Either a 180 µF or 220 µF, 25V capacitor could be used.
For a through hole design, a 220 µF/25V electrolytic capaci-
tor (Panasonic HFQ series or Nichicon PL series or equiva-
lent) would be adequate. other types or other manufacturers
capacitors can be used provided the RMS ripple current
ratings are adequate.
For surface mount designs, solid tantalum capacitors are
recommended. The TPS series available from AVX, and the
593D series from Sprague are both surge current tested.
