9.2.2.4 Inductor and Current Sense Resistor Selection

The inductor selection is based on consideration of both buck and boost modes of operation and the range of the supported slope compensation. As inductor and current sense resistor influencing each other both needs to be selected depending on each other. A good starting point is to set the current sense resistor to have an aveage current level of 60% of the overcurrent detection level. This considers an inductor ripple ΔIL of 20% and a margin of 20% to the overcurrent detection level. The highest inductor current appears at the lowest input voltage.

Equation 34. I L   P e a k ,   max,est. =   V O U T V I N , m i n × I O U T × 1.4 = 15.6   A

The sense resistor can be calculated with:

Equation 35. R C S = 50   m V I L   P e a k ,   max,est. = 3.2   m Ω

The inductor can be selected with have a mid level slope compensation. This can be calculated with:

Equation 36. L = R C S × 625 f S W = 3.35   μ H

Additionally, the inductor selection can be based on the peak-to-peak current ripple ΔIL for buck and boost mode, depending if better efficiency for buck or boost operartion is important. The target inductance for buck mode with approximately 60% of the maximum inductor current at the maximum input voltage is:

Equation 37. L B U C K =   V I N ( M A X ) - V O U T × V O U T 0.6 ×   I O U T M A X ×   F S W ×   V I N ( M A X ) =   6.48   μ H

The target inductance for boost mode with approximately 30% of the maximum inductor current at the maximum input voltage is:

Equation 38. L B O O S T =   V I N ( M I N ) 2 × V O U T - V I N ( M I N ) 0.3 ×   I O U T M A X ×   F S W ×   V O U T 2 =   2.48   μ H

For this application, an inductor with 3.3μH was selected.

The peak inductor current occurs at in this configuration occurs at minimum input voltage and with an efficiency of 95% is given by:

Equation 39. I L   P e a k   B o o s t =   V O U T *   I O U T η * V I N , m i n + V I N , m i n * ( V O U T - V I N , m i n ) 2 * L * f S W * V O U T = 12.9 A  

For the current sense resistor a margin of 20% is considered to have enough headroom for the dymamic responses, e.g. load step regulation. To ensure the maximum output current can be delivered the mimimum level of the peak current limit threshold is used:

Equation 40. R C S = 39   m V I L   P e a k   B o o s t = 3.0   m Ω

The standard value of RCS = 2.5mΩ with 2 times 5mΩ is selected. With the two resistors in parallel it also reduces the parasitic inductance. The maximum power dissipation in RCS happens at VIN(MAX):

Equation 41. P R C S ( M a x ) = 59   m V R C S 2 × R C S × 1 - V O U T V I N ( M a x ) =   0.81   W
