PRODUCTION DATA
The inductor selection is affected by several effects like inductor ripple current, output ripple voltage, PWM-to-PSM transition point, and efficiency. In addition, the inductor selected has to be rated for appropriate saturation current and DC resistance (DCR). Equation 7 and Equation 8 calculate the maximum inductor current under static load conditions.
where
Calculating the maximum inductor current using the actual operating conditions gives the required minimum saturation current of the inductor. It is recommended to add 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. The following inductors have been used with the TPS6213x and are recommended for use:
TYPE | INDUCTANCE [µH] | CURRENT [A](1) | DIMENSIONS [L × B × H] mm | MANUFACTURER(2) |

XFL4020-152ME_ | 1.5 µH, ±20% | 4.2 | 4 × 4 × 2.1 | Coilcraft |
XFL4020-222ME_ | 2.2 µH, ±20% | 3.8 | 4 × 4 × 2.1 | Coilcraft |
IHLP1212BZ-11 | 1.0 µH, ±20% | 4.5 | 3 × 3.6 × 2 | Vishay |
IHLP1212BZ-11 | 2.2 µH, ±20% | 3.0 | 3 × 3.6 × 2 | Vishay |
SRP4020-3R3M | 3.3µH, ±20% | 3.3 | 4.8 × 4 × 2 | Bourns |
VLC5045T-3R3N | 3.3µH, ±30% | 4.0 | 5 × 5 × 4.5 | TDK |
The inductor value also determines the load current at which power save mode is entered:
Using Equation 9, this current level can be adjusted by changing the inductor value.
