3.2 Output Inductor Selection

When selecting the inductor value for the inverting buck - boost topology, the equations provided in the Output Current Calculations section should be used instead of the ones provided in the data sheet. These equations help to select the right inductance by designing for a maximum inductor current (IL(max)) for a given inductance. IL(max) should be kept below the minimum current limit value of TPS62903 (4A) for a reliable design. The recommended output inductor for TPS62903 is in the range of 1uH to 2.2uH. See Selecting L and Cout for Stability for the stability impact of the inductor selection.
