8.2.3.2 Inductor Selection

To calculate the value of the output inductor, use Equation 3. 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, choosing a high inductor ripple current impacts 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, maintain a KIND coefficient between 0 and 15 for balanced performance. Using this target ripple current, the required inductor size can be calculated as shown in Equation 3

Equation 3. TPS548D22 eq_l1_slusc70.gif

Selecting a KIND of 0.15, the target inductance L1 = 250 nH. Using the next standard value, the 250 nH is chosen in this application for its high current rating, low DCR, and small size. The inductor ripple current, RMS current, and peak current can be calculated using Equation 4, Equation 5 and Equation 6. These values should be used to select an inductor with approximately the target inductance value, and current ratings that allow normal operation with some margin.

Equation 5. TPS548D22 eq_ilrms_slusc70.gif
Equation 6. TPS548D22 eq_ilpeak_slusc70.gif

The Wurth ferrite 744309025 inductor is rated for 50 ARMS current, and 48-A saturation. Using this inductor, the ripple current IRIPPLE= 5.64 A, the RMS inductor current IL(rms)= 40 A, and peak inductor current IL(peak)= 43 A.
