SLVSEL7B April 2019 – October 2019 TPS61390
PRODUCTION DATA.
It is suggested that the TPS61390 device works in the DCM operation; otherwise the output voltage would not be delivered for low input voltage to high output voltage.
With the device working in DCM operation, the maximum inductor could be calculated by equation Equation 3 and Equation 4:
where
For instance, if VIN = 3.3 V, VOUT = 60 V, fSW = 600 kHz, ILIM = 0.8 A, the LMAX = 6.5 µH
However, there is minimum inductance is determined by the power delivered to the output side at given input condition.
where
For instance, if IOUT = 8 mA, VOUT = 60 V, fSW = 600 kHz, ILIM = 0.8 A, eff = 0.6, the LMIN = 4.2 µH
With the calculation aforementioned, the operating inductor is recommended between the LMIN and LMAX.
The 4.7 µH inductance is optimum value for using the TPS61390 in application.
