4.1 Inductor Selection

When selecting the inductor value for the inverting buck-boost topology, the equations provided in Output Current Calculations should be used instead of the ones provided in the data sheet. (IL(max) should be kept below the minimum current limit value of the device (0.6 A) for a reliable design.) It is recommended to size the inductor for the current limit level of the TPS62125, as this level is sometimes reached during startup (shown in Figure 3-1). See Section 4.3 for the stability impact of the inductor selection.
