switch closes, current in the inductor builds according to capacitors provide still better performance at more ex- pense. We recommend OS-CON capacitors from Sanyo V  R – t '  Corporation (San Diego, CA). These units are physically I L (+ = 1 – e ) L  L  (1 ) 5 R'   quite small and have extremely low ESR. To illustrate, Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the output voltage of an LT1110 where R' = 0.65Ω + DCRL based converter with three 100µF capacitors. The peak VL = VIN – 0.75V switch current is 500mA in all cases. Figure 1 shows a Sprague 501D, 25V aluminum capacitor. V As an example, suppose –5V at 75mA is to be generated OUT jumps by over 120mV when the switch turns off, followed by a drop from a 4.5V to 5.5V input. Recalling Equation (14), in voltage as the inductor dumps into the capacitor. This P | 5V | . 0 5V 7 m 5 A = m 413 W ( )( ) works out to be an ESR of over 240mΩ. Figure 2 shows the L = − + .

Since 10.8µJ > 5.9µJ, the 56µH inductor will work. With this relatively small input range, RLIM is not usually necessary and the ILIM pin can be tied directly to VIN. As in the step-down case, peak switch current should be limited 50mV/DIV to ~800mA.

as selecting the right inductor. A poor choice for a filter capacitor can result in poor efficiency and/or high output ripple. Ordinary aluminum electrolytics, while inexpensive and readily available, may have unacceptably poor Equiva- lent Series Resistance (ESR) and ESL (inductance). There 50mV/DIV are low ESR aluminum capacitors on the market specifi- cally designed for switch mode DC-DC converters which work much better than general-purpose units.
