PRODUCTION DATA.
Determine the inductance value to set the ripple current at approximately ¼ to ½ of the maximum output current. Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage, improves signal-to-noise ratio, and helps to stabilize operation.
The inductor requires a low DCR to achieve good efficiency. The inductor also requires enough room above peak inductor current before saturation. The peak inductor current is estimated using Equation 8.
