Are CIN/COUT in series or parallel in this TranSim EE-Sim output?
the purpose of &quot;Cout&quot; is to stabilize the output voltage
They serve as a tank which charges during the switch's ON time, and which discharges during the OFF time.
Placing them in parallel allows for a larger tank and thus a smoother output voltage
Be careful not to exceed the recommended value otherwise the capacitors may not have time to charge during the ON time.
The other purpose of &quot;Cout&quot; is to filter out high frequency noise,
for this, taking capacitors with a low ESR is recommended (placing the capacitors in parallel also allows to reduce the ESR)
