PRODUCTION DATA
Because the TPS5516x-Q1 device has internal peak current limit (ISW_limit) of 4.5 A (maximum), this current should be considered when selecting the power inductor. Select the inductor of the saturation current (ISAT) with a minimum value of 4.5 A so that the inductor never gets saturated. TI recommends using a shielded inductor.
For this design example, select an AEC-Q200 Grade 0, shielded inductor with the following characteristics:
