PRODUCTION DATA.
The inductance value is selected to provide approximately 30% peak to peak ripple current at maximum load. Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage, improve S/N ratio and contribute to stable operation. Equation 4 can be used to calculate te value for LOUT.
The inductors current ratings needs to support both the RMS (thermal) current and the peak (saturation) current. The RMS and peak inductor current can be estimated as follows:
Note:
The calculation above shall serve as a general reference. To further improve transient response, the output inductance could be reduced further. This needs to be considered along with the selection of the output capacitor.
