For the regulator, a 10µF input There are restrictions in the maximum VIN and VOUT step- ceramic capacitor is required for RMS ripple current de- down ratios that can be achieved for a given input voltage coupling. Bulk input capacitance is only needed when the due to the minimum off-time and minimum on-time limits input source impedance is compromised by long inductive of the regulator. The minimum off-time limit imposes a leads, traces or not enough source capacitance. The bulk maximum duty cycle which can be calculated as: capacitor can be an aluminum electrolytic capacitor or D polymer capacitor. MAX = 1 – (tOFF(MIN) • fSW) where t Without considering the inductor ripple current, the RMS OFF(MIN) is the minimum off-time, typically 70ns for LTM4624, and f current of the input capacitor can be estimated as: SW (Hz) is the switching frequency. Conversely the minimum on-time limit imposes a minimum IOUT(MAX) duty cycle of the converter which can be calculated as: ICIN(RMS) = • D • (1– D) η% DMIN = tON(MIN) • fSW where η% is the estimated efficiency of the power module. where tON(MIN) is the minimum on-time, typically 40ns for LTM4624. In the rare cases where the minimum duty
