A. Since the TC2575 is a forward–mode switching regulator
with voltage mode control, its open loop 2–pole–1–zero
frequency characteristic has the dominant pole–pair
determined by the output capacitor and inductor values.
COUT ≥ 7.785
= 53µF
8 x 220
To achieve an acceptable ripple voltage, select
OUT 100µF electrolytic capacitor.
C
For stable operation, the capacitor must satisfy the
following requirement:
VIN(max)
C
OUT ≥ 7.785
[µF]
VOUT x L [µF]
B. Capacitor values between 10µF and 2000µF will satisfy
the loop requirements for stable operation. To achieve an
acceptable output ripple voltage and transient response,
the output capacitor may need to be several times larger
than the above formula yields.
C. Due to the fact that the higher voltage electrolytic capaci-
tors generally have lower ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) numbers, the output capacitor’s voltage
rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the output
voltage. For a 5.0V regulator, a rating of at least 8.0V is
appropriate, and a 10V or 16V rating is recommended.
