PRODUCTION DATA
Use Equation 8 to calculate the inductor peak-ripple current in the step-up, or boost, mode (Ipk_boost).
where
In general, the maximum peak-ripple current occurs at 50% duty cycle. In this example, because of the power derating versus the input voltage, a few calculations can find that the maximum RMS current occurs when the input voltage is approximately 3.8 V, of which the load current is 0.8 A, according to Table 9-1. Equation 10 and Equation 11 show the peak-ripple current under this condition.
The power dissipations can be determined by the RMS current of the inductor. Use Equation 12 to calculate the RMS current of the inductor in buck mode (Irms_boost).
Use Equation 13 to calculate the approximate power dissipation of the inductor in boost-mode (Ploss_L_boost).
