In applications with all ceramic output capacitors, the
main ripple component of the output ripple is
VOUT_PP(C). So that the minimum output capacitance can
be calculated regarding to a given output ripple requirement
VOUT_PP in PWM operation mode.

Input Capacitor Selection
One of the input capacitor selection guides is the input
voltage ripple requirement. To minimize the input voltage
ripple and get better decoupling in the input power supply
rail, ceramic capacitor is recommended due to low ESR and
ESL. The minimum input capacitance regarding to the input
ripple voltage VIN_PP is

In addition, the input capacitor needs to be able to absorb

The input capacitor also needs to be sufficient to protect
the device from over voltage spike, and normally at least a
4.7 mF capacitor is required. The input capacitor should be
located as close as possible to the IC on PCB.

Design of Feedback Network
For NCP6334B/C devices with an external adjustable
output voltage, the output voltage is programmed by an
external resistor divider connected from V
OUT
to FB and
then to AGND, as shown in the typical application
schematic Figure 1(a). The programmed output voltage is

(eq. 14)
where V
FB
is equal to the internal reference voltage 0.6 V,
R1 is the resistance from V
OUT
to FB, which has a normal
value range from 50 kW to 1 MW and a typical value of
220 kW for applications with the typical output filter. R2 is
the resistance from FB to AGND, which is used to program
the output voltage according to equation (14) once the value
of R1 has been selected. A capacitor Cfb needs to be
employed between the V
OUT
and FB in order to provide
feedforward function to achieve optimum transient
response. Normal value range of Cfb is from 0 to 100 pF, and
a typical value is 15 pF for applications with the typical
output filter and R1 = 220 kW.
Table 4 provides reference values of R1 and Cfb in case
of different output filter combinations. The final design may
need to be fine tuned regarding to application specifications.
