Designing for Load Transients
The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of
1 A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the data sheet specification table using the
required value of output capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a converter's
regulation circuit ultimately depends on its output capacitor decoupling network. This is an inherent limitation of
any dc/dc converter once the speed of the transient exceeds its bandwidth capability. If the target application
specifies a higher di/dt or lower voltage deviation, the requirement can only be met with additional output
capacitor decoupling. In these cases, special attention must be paid to the type, value, and ESR of the
capacitors selected.
If the transient performance requirements exceed those specified in the data sheet, the selection of output
capacitors becomes more important. Obey the minimum ESR and maximum capacitance limits specified in the
Electrical Characteristics table.

(1) Capacitor Supplier Verification
1. Verify availability of capacitors identified in this table. Capacitor suppliers may recommend alternative part numbers because of
limited availability or obsolete products. In some instances, the capacitor product life cycle may be in decline and have short-term
consideration for obsolescence.
RoHS, Lead-free and Material Details
2. Consult capacitor suppliers regarding material composition, RoHS status, lead-free status, and manufacturing process requirements.
Component designators or part number deviations may occur if material composition or soldering requirements change.
(2) The maximum voltage rating of the capacitor must be selected for the desired set-point voltage (V
O
). To operate at a higher output
voltage, select a capacitor with a higher voltage rating.
