be used for a 16V to 20V application.
IRELEASE when input voltage is regulated at
VRELEASE for the DCDC converter. The storage
voltage of MP111 is VSTORAGE, and the required
dying gasp time is TDASP. The necessary storage
capacitance can be calculated as following
equation:
However, since the MP111 tightly regulates the
storage voltage, the storage capacitor almost has
no AC ripple current going through it. The
resulting refresh rate of the MP111 is very low
which allows customers to safely use a 90%
capacitor derating (6). For example, a 25V
electrolytic capacitor, can safely handle a storage
voltage of up to 22V. Table 3 is some
recommended storage electrolytic capacitors
which can be used in typical xDSL application

should be chosen a little bit large to avoid
capacitance reduction at high voltage offset.
PCB Layout Guide
PCB layout is very important to achieve stable
operation. Please follow these guidelines and
take the EVB board layout for references.
In typical xDSL applications using a 12V input
supply, it is recommended to set the storage
voltage higher than 20V to fully utilize the high

capacitance requirements. Generally, a 25V
rated electrolytic capacitor can be used. The
lifetime of electrolytic capacitors can be severely
impacted by both environmental and electrical
factors. One of the most critical electrical factors
is the AC RMS ripple current through the
capacitor which leads to increased capacitor core
temperatures. Normally, for typical industrial
uses, it is recommended to derate the capacitor
voltage rating by as much as 70%-80%. For
2) Ensure all feedback connections are short
and direct. Place the feedback resistors and
compensation components as close to the
chip as possible.
3) Keep the connection of the storage
capacitors and STRG pin as short and wide
as possible.
