PRODUCTION DATA
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.
Use Equation 7 and Equation 8 to calculate the RMS and peak currents through the inductor. Make sure that the inductor is rated to handle these currents.
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.
