The necessary RMS current rating of the input capacitor can
be estimated by the following equation:
where the variable D refers to the duty cycle, and can be
approximated by:
From this equation, it follows that the maximum I
occur at a full 3A load current with the system operating at
50% duty cycle. Under this condition, the maximum I

Ceramic capacitors feature a very large I
footprint, making a ceramic capacitor ideal for this applica-
tion. A 47 µF ceramic capacitor from Murata with a 4.9A I
rating provides the necessary input capacitance for the
evaluation board. For improved load regulation and transient
performance, an extra 1 µF ceramic capacitor is placed near
to the AVIN pin from V
to filter high frequency noise pulses on the supply, and
prevent those pulses from disturbing the analog control cir-
cuitry of the chip.

The soft-start capacitor has been chosen to provide a soft-
start time of roughly 3 ms. Using the internal soft-start resis-
tance of 450 kΩ and the external soft-start capacitor value of
2.2 nF, the approximate soft-start time can be calculated as
follows:
A 3 ms soft-start time will allow the LM2853 to start up
gracefully without triggering over-current protection, regard-
less of the operating conditions.
