PRODUCTION DATA
With an estimated 85% efficiency, the input current is calculated to be 2.35 A using Equation 11. The minimum inductance is calculated to be 10.5 µH using Equation 43 with a K(IND) value of 0.3 and a maximum input value of 18 V. The nearest standard value of 12 µH is used. This equation assumes that a coupled inductor is used.
The inductor ripple current is recalculated to be 615 mA using Equation 44. The peak current is calculated to be 3.69 A. For the saturation rating of the selected inductor, use the typical current limit. The RMS current for La is approximately the average input current 2.35 A. The RMS current for Lb is approximately the output current of 1 A. For this design, a CoilCraft MSD1260-123 was used with 6.86-A saturation, 74-mΩ DCR, and 3.12-A RMS current rating for one winding.
