Can anybody help me how to calculate the output capacitor required for the attached ic. i.e. AX2003.

Input Vmin=7.4V
Vmax=8.4V
Current required for Diode = 2A.

I did not find any details about calculating output capacitor.
No spikes and No ripple currents. becoz diode is very sensitive of spikes and ripple currents.

I don't know the difference between those circuits. I just want to build a buck constant current using that ic. They gave formulas for setting current and finding inductor. But they did not give any details about output capacitor which is important to reduce ripple.

What kind of diode is sensitive to spikes and ripple current?

Which circuit on the data sheet are you using?

so for different inductance if we use the same 4.7uf there will be plenty ripple in the output. and I don't want that. I am attaching a schematic of the same ic circuit. I want to know how they have arrived that from datasheet.

If your talking about C1, on page 5, then its 4.7uF.
