8.2.2.1.3 Inductor Selection

The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. A higher inductor ripple current means the output capacitor must have a ripple current rating higher than the inductor ripple current. See Table 8-2 for recommended inductor values.

The RMS and peak currents through the inductor can be calculated using Equation 7 and Equation 8. It is important that the inductor is rated to handle these currents.

Equation 7. GUID-C9133E6F-A3BF-4C1D-B39D-1FED33E6F644-low.gif
Equation 8. GUID-3227B15B-BBBA-44A3-BA19-3573E16B10D7-low.gif

During transient/short circuit conditions the inductor current can increase up to the current limit of the device so it is safe to choose an inductor with a saturation current higher than the peak current under current limit condition.
