8.2.2.10 Selecting Inductor Value

Inductor value involves trade-offs in performance. Larger inductors reduce inductor ripple current, which typically means less output voltage ripple (for a given size of output capacitor). Larger inductors also mean more load power can be delivered because the energy stored during each switching cycle is:

Equation 6. E = L / 2 × (IP)2

where

  • IP is the peak inductor current

The LM48511 will limit its switch current based on peak current. With IP fixed, increasing L will increase the maximum amount of power available to the load. Conversely, using too little inductance may limit the amount of load current which can be drawn from the output. Best performance is usually obtained when the converter is operated in “continuous” mode at the load current range of interest, typically giving better load regulation and less output ripple. Continuous operation is defined as not allowing the inductor current to drop to zero during the cycle. Boost converters shift over to discontinuous operation if the load is reduced far enough, but a larger inductor stays continuous over a wider load current range.
