Switching power supply output capacitor

If you increase capacitor size or add capacitors in parallel the ESR could become too low. For example the LM2575 requires at least 0.05Ω to guarantee stability when running in continuous mode. If you have a problem with voltage spikes during load current variations then you should add capacitance as close to the load as possible. This ...

Electrolytic capacitors come with a large capacitance and take care of the bulk storage while ceramic capacitors are used to suppress noise at the output. If all you need is 10uF of output capacitance, just use ceramic alone. You can use tantalum capacitors too, but there are some safety concerns. If you need a large amount of output ...

What is the main purpose of bulk input capacitors in a power …

Bulk capacitors can control the voltage ripple at the input when the converter is responding to a load transient. The size of the capacitor is determined by the size of the potential output current transient and the allowable input voltage ripple of the design specification. The necessary capacitance needed can often be quite large and therefore Electrolytic Capacitors are often …

Are too high capacitance capacitors "bad" for the circuit?

But large capacitors can affect the stability of op-amps or switching regulators. And they can give rise to large inrush currents when power is first connected to a circuit. Even if the inrush can be accommodated, it may cause the power source Voltage to droop, and if other circuitry is attached to that power source, it may reset or malfunction due to the droop. …

2. The upper (and lower) blue arrows in the two circuits point in opposite directions. This is done to show that, in real time (when they''re in the same circuit together), their actions are exactly opposite one another – so, for example, when the inductor is removing energy from its circuit, the capacitor is returning energy to its circuit and vice versa.
