PRODUCTION DATA.
TI recommends you use the TPS63810 device with 0.47-µH inductors. For high efficiencies, use an inductor with a low DC resistance (DCR) and low core losses.
The saturation current of the inductor must be greater than the maximum inductor current in your application. To include sufficient margin for worst-case and transient operating conditions, TI recommends you use an inductor with saturation current that is at least 20% higher than the maximum inductor current in your application. The maximum current in the inductor occurs when the device operates in boost mode and the following is true:
To calculate the maximum inductor current, first use Equation 1 to calculate the maximum duty cycle during boost operation (which is when the maximum inductor current occurs).

To include enough margin for transient conditions, TI recommends you use an inductor with a saturation current rating at least 20% higher than the calculated maximum current. In this example, TI recommends an inductor with a saturation current of at least 6.1 A.
