The maximum ESR of the output capacitor also determines the amount of output ripple as specified in the initial
design parameters. The output ripple voltage is the inductor ripple current times the ESR of the output filter.
Check that the maximum specified ESR as listed in the capacitor data sheet results in an acceptable output

For this design example, a single 220-μF output capacitor is chosen for C3. The calculated RMS ripple current is
143 mA and the maximum ESR required is 40 mΩ. A capacitor that meets these requirements is a Sanyo
Poscap 10TPB220M, rated at 10 V with a maximum ESR of 40 mΩ and a ripple current rating of 3 A. An
additional small 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitor may also used, but is not included in this design.
The minimum ESR of the output capacitor should also be considered. For good phase margin, the ESR zero
when the ESR is at a minimum should not be too far above the internal compensation poles at 24 kHz and 54
kHz.
The selected output capacitor must also be rated for a voltage greater than the desired output voltage plus one
half the ripple voltage. Any derating amount must also be included. The maximum RMS ripple current in the
output capacitor is given by

Other capacitor types can be used with the TPS5430, depending on the needs of the application.
Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage of the TPS5430 is set by a resistor divider (R1 and R2) from the output to the VSENSE pin.

For any TPS5430 design, start with an R1 value of 10 kΩ. R2 is then 3.24 kΩ.
