When we use both ceramic and electrical capacitor for output capacitor, how should we calculate output capacitor ESR?
I would like to judge the serial resistor value of adding to Cout.

Hello Kohei san,
(EDITED) sorry just saw you are using it on the output of the LM5010. Ripple injection should be considered at switching frequency. The Ceramics has an ESR much less than that of the Electrolytics you are using. See below. Elec ESR calculated from the tan delta.
220uF Elec Est ESR ~1.5ohm
22uF Elec Est ESR ~18ohm
22uF Cermaic ~3mR
the Output capacitance can be considered as the Ceramic and the equivalent ESR is also as the ceramic. Cout ~22uF and Cout ESR ~3mR for Fsw>100kHz
You will need to use Type III ripple injection detailed in the datasheet.
There is a paper written on parallel capacitors below.
Hope this helps?
David.
