5 V to 3.3 V buck with limited input current and large capacitor to cover current spikes?
We need to design a power supply for a 3.3 V WiFi-device. But there are quite some current spikes during WiFi startup. Using the design below there is a risk the 5 V (250 mA max) supply (not mine) ...

When finding ESR/ESL of a ceramic capacitor, what frequency should I assume during a load step?
I want to determine the output droop in a transient load step for a buck converter I am designing.
The output capacitor will supply current during this load step, and there will be a drop associated ...

What is the function of the feedforward capacitor on the LM2596-ADJ?
I'm looking at the LM2596S datasheet and notice that on page 7 (figure 3) it recommends a "feedforward" capacitor for the adjustable variant.
The example schematic on page 9 shows a ...

Feedback loop design (buck converter): Output capacitance- effective value or nominal value to be considered?
In this TI datasheet of TPS62180, it was mentioned that the LC filter combination should be selected from a set of predefined values. I understand this is usually the case for an internally ...

How to the calculate the value of capacitor placed in series with transformer to avoid flux walking in a buck converter? [closed]
The dc value of current in primary increases(in -ve direction) as time passes, so I need a capacitor in series with transformer, but don't know what value capacitor should I use.
filter capacitor = 1 ...
