Input Capacitor

The input capacitors (C1) are chosen based

upon the AC voltage ripple on the input

capacitors, RMS current ratings, and voltage

rating of the input capacitors.

Output Filter

The simplest filter is an output capacitor (C2),

whose capacitance is determined by the output

ripple requirement.

The current waveform in the output capacitor is

mostly in rectangular shape. The full load

current is drawn from the capacitors during the

primary switch on time. The worse case for the

output ripple occurs under low line and full load

conditions. The ripple voltage can be estimated

ESR also needs to be specified for the output

capacitors. This is due to the step change in D2

current results in a ripple voltage that is

proportional to the ESR. Assuming that the D2

current waveform is in rectangular shape, the

ESR requirement is then obtained by given the

output ripple voltage.
