BQ24296M: PMID cap selection

Part Number: BQ24296M

Dear all,

for PMID cap, what is its minimum vale recommendation? also, if using smaller PMID, any other concerns except the large input voltage ripple?

Thanks.

  • HI John,

    The minimum recommended PMID capacitor is 8.2uF ceramic after derating for voltage. For example, two 16-V rated 4.7uF in parallel will likely derate to 8.2uF at 5V bias. The total capacitance at VBUS + PMID should be less than 10uF in order to be compliant with USB BC 1.2 specification.
