Calculate Input Filter Capacitor Current Ripple
The procedure below assumes that phases do not overlap
and output inductor ripple current (PP) is less than the
average output current of one phase.

12. Calculate Input Filter Capacitor Ripple Current. Use
the chart in Figure
17 to calculate the normalized
ripple current (KRMS) based on the reciprocal of
Apparent Duty Cycle. Then multiply the input current
by KRMS to obtain the Input Filter Capacitor Ripple
Current.

DESIGN EXAMPLE
Choose the component values for a 240 kHz, 12 V to 1.525
V, 41 A converter with lossless current sensing, adaptive
positioning and a 50 A current limit. The adaptive
positioning is chosen 50 mV below the DAC setting at no
load and 50 mV below the noload position with 41 A out.
The peak output voltage transient is 70 mV max during a 41
A step current.
