8.2.2.3 Inductor Selection

The inductance selection is a compromise between solution size, output ripple, and efficiency. The peak inductor current at maximum load current must be smaller than the minimum current limit of 150 mA. The maximum permissible peak to peak inductor ripple is determined by Equation 13.

Equation 13. ΔIL = 2 × (ILIM(min) – IOUT(max)) = 2 × 50 = 100 mA

The minimum inductance is determined by Equation 14.

Equation 14. GUID-23214758-70FC-4306-9E90-D5281D00CD97-low.gif

Using the maximum VIN of 48 V, the calculation from Equation 14 results in L = 179 μH. A standard value of 220 μH is selected. For proper operation, the inductor saturation current must be higher than the peak current encountered in the application. For robust short circuit protection, the inductor saturation current must be higher than the maximum current limit of 300 mA.
