PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS6244x-Q1 is designed for a nominal 0.47-µH inductor with a switching frequency of typically 2.25 MHz. Larger values can be used to achieve a lower inductor current ripple but they can have a negative impact on efficiency and transient response. Smaller values than 0.47 µH cause a larger inductor current ripple, which causes larger negative inductor current in forced PWM mode at low or no output current. For a higher or lower nominal switching frequency, the inductance must be changed accordingly.
The inductor selection is affected by several effects like the following:
In addition, the inductor selected has to be rated for appropriate saturation current and DC resistance (DCR). Equation 7 calculates the maximum inductor current.

Calculating the maximum inductor current using the actual operating conditions gives the minimum saturation current of the inductor needed. TI recommends adding a margin of approximately 20%. A larger inductor value is also useful to get lower ripple current, but increases the transient response time and size as well.
