TPS61372: Voltage Ripple Calculation

Part Number: TPS61372

Hello,

How can I calculate TPS61372's input/output voltage ripples from input/output capacitance values?

The "TPS61372 Quickstart Tool" (SLVRBF6) can calculate minimum input capacitance from input voltage ripple spec in the "Step 4: Input Capacitor" and minimum output capacitance from output voltage ripple spec in the "Step 3: Output Capacitor." Therefore, I guess there are equations for the reverse calculation.

Best regards,

  • Hi Shinichi,

    For the output capacitance calculation, it is written on the datasheet.

    For the input side, it is assumed that all current ripple is absorbed by capacitor. 

    the formular is Cin=dIL*Ts/(4*Vripple), it can be easily derived by capacitor charging charge.

    Best Regards
