PRODUCTION DATA
The inductor selection is dependent on the selected switching frequency and the duty cycle. When using the 2.2-MHz frequency, only use a 2.2-µH inductor. When using the 1-MHz frequency, calculate the maximum duty cycle using the minimum input voltage. If Dmax is above 45%, only use a 4.7-µH inductor. If Dmax is below 45% and the output voltage is 2 V or less, use only a 2.2-µH inductor. If Dmax is below 45% and the output voltage is above 2 V, use a 4.7-µH inductor to achieve the full output current or a 2.2-µH inductor for higher efficiency with a reduced maximum output current.
The inductor also has to be rated for the appropriate saturation current. Equation 5 and Equation 6 calculate the maximum inductor current under static load conditions. The formula takes the converter efficiency into account. The calculation must be done for the maximum input voltage where the peak switch current is highest.
where
Calculating the maximum inductor current using the actual operating conditions gives the minimum saturation current. A margin of 20% is recommended to be added to cover for load transients during operation.
See Table 8-4 for typical inductors.
