For best reliability, this capacitor should have The LT3517 uses an internal transconductance error low ESR and ESL and have an adequate ripple current amplifier whose VC output compensates the control loop. rating. The RMS input current is: The external inductor, output capacitor, and the compen- sation resistor and capacitor determine the loop stability. The inductor and output capacitor are chosen based on IIN(RMS) =ILED • (1– D) •D (8) performance, size and cost. The compensation resistor where D is the switch duty cycle. A 2.2µF ceramic type and capacitor at VC are selected to optimize control loop capacitor is usually sufficient. stability. For typical LED applications, a 10nF compensation capacitor at VC is adequate and a series resistor is not

Select a diode rated for capacitor value is larger in the boost and buck-boost mode the maximum SW voltage. If using the PWM feature for applications than that in the buck mode applications. For dimming, it is important to consider diode leakage, which LED buck mode applications, a 1µF ceramic capacitor increases with the temperature, from the output during the is usually sufficient. For the LED boost and buck-boost PWM low interval. Therefore, choose the Schottky diode mode applications, a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor is usually with sufficiently low leakage current.
