SLDS261A November 2019 – February 2021 TPS6521815
PRODUCTION DATA
The inductor value affects its peak to peak ripple current, the PWM to PFM transition point, the output voltage ripple, and the efficiency. The selected inductor must be rated for its DC resistance and saturation current. The inductor ripple current (∆L) decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher VIN or VOUT. Equation 1 calculates the maximum inductor current ripple under static load conditions. The saturation current of the inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 2. This is recommended as during heavy load transient the inductor current will rise above the calculated value.
