8.2.2.3 Output Inductor Selection

To calculate the value of the output inductor, use Equation 18. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. Therefore, choosing high inductor ripple currents impact the selection of the output capacitor since the output capacitor must have a ripple current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer; however, KIND is normally from 0.1 to 0.3 for the majority of applications.

Equation 18. GUID-0074C171-A1E9-4DC3-8CB3-642B7B80CF46-low.gif

For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and the inductor value is calculated to be 3.08 µH. For this design, a nearest standard value was chosen: 3.3 µH. For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS and peak inductor current can be found from Equation 20 and Equation 21.

Equation 20. GUID-98E2F875-D9B3-40F7-A0BB-084E47443E88-low.gif
Equation 21. GUID-B3FABD1B-541F-48AB-9DA2-ED1E4ED951DA-low.gif

For this design, the RMS inductor current is 6.02 A and the peak inductor current is 6.84 A. The chosen inductor is a Coilcraft MSS1048 series 3.3 µH. It has a saturation current rating of 7.38 A and a RMS current rating of 7.22 A.

The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power-up, faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the calculated peak inductor current level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current rating equal to or greater than the switch current limit rather than the peak inductor current.
