8.2.2.6 Inductor Current Limit Calculation

The current limit for each mode can be calculated using Equation 29 and Equation 31. If the peak current limit is less than the calculated inductor peak current, the R13 and C15 need to be recalculated. This can be done by increasing the previous K values or M and reiterating the calculations.

Equation 29. LM25118 eq01_new_snvs726.gif
Equation 30. ILIMIT (BUCK) = 7.37 A
Equation 31. LM25118 eq02_new_snvs726.gif
Equation 32. ILIMIT (BUCK-BOOST) = 14.29 A
