Capacitor capacity selection requirements and standards

What are the selection considerations of output capacitors?

This application note describes the selection considerations of output capacitors, based on load transient and output impedance of processors power rails. Presently, there are no specific tools available for non-Intel processor output capacitors selection in multiphase designs.

How to choose a capacitor?

A capacitor with an appropriate ripple current and working voltage rating should be chosen. Polarity and Reverse Voltage – If an electrolyte capacitor is used in the circuit, it must be connected in the correct direction. Its reverse voltage rating should be at least twice the possible reverse voltage in that branch of the circuit.

What should a capacitor's voltage rating be?

Apart from nominal capacitance, the voltage rating is the second most important parameter that must be essentially factored in. The capacitor’s voltage rating should always be at least 1.5 times or twice the maximum voltage it may encounter in the circuit. Capacitors are not as reliable as resistors.

Does output capacitor selection meet non-Intel processor requirements?

Analytical and experimental results show that output capacitors selection is optimized for load transient and output impedance, to fulfill non-Intel processor requirements. D-CAP+ is a trademark of Texas Instruments. High-performance microprocessors require low voltage and high current voltage regulator modules(VRM).

How difficult is it to calibrate capacitors for use as standards?

Selection and calibration of capacitors for use as Standards is a challenging task, especially since the accuracies required, depening on the application, can be very demanding for the test gear as well as for the secondary- and working-standards used.

What determines the amount of capacitance required?

The electrical performance requirements of your design play a big part in determining the amount of capacitance required. The transient requirements of your system are very important. The load transient amplitude, voltage deviation requirements, and capacitor impedance each affects capacitor selection.
