Choose an output capacitor:
To meet the undershoot and overshoot
specification, equation 7b and 8 will be used to
calculate the minimum output capacitance. As a

Choose an inductor with the lowest DCR and
AC power loss as possible to increase the
overall system efficiency. For instance, choose
a PIMB104T-2R2MS-39 manufactured by
CYNTEC. The inductance of this part is 2.2μH
and has 6.0 mΩ DCR. Ripple current needs to
be recalculated using the chosen inductor.

manufactures such as SP-Cap (Specialty
Polymer Capacitor) from Panasonic or POSCAP
from Sanyo. A 330μF (EEFUE0E331XR) from
Panasonic with 10 mΩ ESR will meet both
requirements.
If an all ceramic output capacitor solution is
desired, the external slope injection circuit
composed of R6, C13, and C14 is required as
explained in the Stability Consideration Section.
In this design example, we can choose C14 =
1nF and C13 = 100nF. To calculate the value of
R6 with PIMB104T-2R2MS-39 as our inductor:
