TPS2492: How to calculate Cout when using Hotswap IC?

Part Number: TPS2492

Hi, When Using Hotswap IC, How to calculate or decide Cout Value?

I cannot find anything about Cout in the datasheet. I am going to use TPS2492.

Are there any rule of thumb of calculate Cout value?

Thanks.

  • Hi Hong,

    The Cout values is decided by the needs of the output load. For example, if the load is a DC-DC module, it is the input capacitance of that DC-DC module. The Hot-swap does not need much capacitance for its operation. A 1uF can be used to filter the noise on the output bus.
