8.2.2.5 Inductor Selection

To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 5:

Equation 5. GUID-94E8B559-03A5-425A-933C-4BBB74CE55AD-low.gif

KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. Three things need to be considered when determining the amount of ripple current in the inductor: the peak to peak ripple current affects the output ripple voltage amplitude, the ripple current affects the peak switch current and the amount of ripple current determines at what point the circuit becomes discontinuous. For designs using the TPS5450, KIND of 0.2 to 0.3 yields good results. Low-output ripple voltages can be obtained when paired with the proper output capacitor, the peak switch current will be well below the current limit set point and relatively low-load currents can be sourced before discontinuous operation.

For this design example use KIND = 0.2 and the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 10.4 μH. A higher standard value is 15 μH, which is used in this design.

For the output filter inductor it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS inductor current can be found from Equation 6:

Equation 6. GUID-F98B01D9-2C90-4502-BDED-F96A7931D8F3-low.gif

The peak inductor current can be determined with Equation 7:

Equation 7. GUID-DDA0AF1A-8ECE-4B23-B762-0247E67A98CA-low.gif

For this design, the RMS inductor current is 5.004 A, and the peak inductor current is 5.34 A. The chosen inductor is a Sumida CDRH1127/LD-150 15μH. It has a minimum rated current of 5.65 A for both saturation and RMS current. In general, inductor values for use with the TPS5450 are in the range of 10 μH to 100 μH.
