8.1.3 L1

The inductor value is determined based on the operating frequency, load current, ripple current, and the minimum and maximum input voltage (VIN(min), VIN(max)).

LM25575 20212110.gifFigure 10. Inductor Current Waveform

To keep the circuit in continuous conduction mode (CCM), the maximum ripple current IRIPPLE should be less than twice the minimum load current, or 0.4 Ap-p. Using this value of ripple current, the value of inductor (L1) is calculated using the following:

Equation 5. LM25575 20212111.gif
Equation 6. LM25575 20212112.gif

This procedure provides a guide to select the value of L1. The nearest standard value (47µH) will be used. L1 must be rated for the peak current (IPK+) to prevent saturation. During normal loading conditions, the peak current occurs at maximum load current plus maximum ripple. During an overload condition the peak current is limited to 2.1 A nominal (2.5 A maximum). The selected inductor (see Table 1) has a conservative 3.25 Amp saturation current rating. For this manufacturer, the saturation rating is defined as the current necessary for the inductance to reduce by 30%, at 20°C.
