APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

5. After making an initial choice, consider the secondary

things like output voltage ripple, second sourcing, etc.

Use the experts in the Linear Technology’s applica-

tions department if you feel uncertain about the final

choice. They have experience with a wide range of

inductor types and can tell you about the latest devel-

opments in low profile, surface mounting, etc.

Output Capacitor

The output capacitor is normally chosen by its Effective

Series Resistance (ESR), because this is what determines

output ripple voltage. At 500kHz, any polarized capacitor

is essentially resistive. To get low ESR takes

volume, so

physically smaller capacitors have high ESR. The ESR

range for typical LT1376 applications is 0.05

Ω to 0.5Ω. A

typical output capacitor is an AVX type TPS, 100

µF at 10V,

with a guaranteed ESR less than 0.1

Ω. This is a “D” size

surface mount solid tantalum capacitor. TPS capacitors

are specially constructed and tested for low ESR, so they

give the lowest ESR for a given volume. The value in

microfarads is not particularly critical, and values from

µF to greater than 500µF work well, but you cannot

cheat mother nature on ESR. If you find a tiny 22

µF solid

tantalum capacitor, it will have high ESR, and output ripple

voltage will be terrible. Table 3 shows some typical solid

tantalum surface mount capacitors.

Many engineers have heard that solid tantalum capacitors

are prone to failure if they undergo high surge currents.

This is historically true, and type TPS capacitors are

specially tested for surge capability, but surge ruggedness

is not a critical issue with the

output capacitor. Solid

tantalum capacitors fail during very high

turn-on surges,

which do not occur at the output of regulators. High
