PRODUCTION DATA
The inductor value has a direct effect on the ripple current. The selected inductor must be rated for its DC resistance and saturation current. The inductor ripple current (ΔIL) decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher VIN or VOUT.
Equation 6 calculates the maximum inductor current in PWM mode under static load conditions. The saturation current of the inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 7. This is recommended because during heavy load transient the inductor current rises above the calculated value.

A more conservative approach is to select the inductor current rating just for the switch current limit ILIMF of the converter.
The total losses of the coil have a strong impact on the efficiency of the DC/DC conversion and consist of both the losses in the DC resistance R(DC) and the following frequency-dependent components:
