PRODUCTION DATA.
To calculate the value of the output inductor (L), use Equation 5. The coefficient KIND represents the amount of inductor-ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The output capacitor filters the inductor-ripple current. Therefore, selecting a high inductor-ripple current impacts the selection of the output capacitor because the output capacitor must have a ripple-current rating equal to or greater than the inductor-ripple current. Generally, the KIND must be kept between 0.1 and 0.3 for balanced performance. Using this target ripple current, the required inductor size can be calculated as shown in .
A standard inductor value of 470 nH is selected. For this application, Wurth 744309047 was used from the web-orderable EVM.
