7.2.2.2 Choose the Output Inductor (L)

Calculate the inductance value to set the ripple current at approximately 0.3 times the output current using Equation 8. Larger ripple current improves transient response and improves signal-to-noise ratio with the tradeoff of increased steady state output voltage ripple. Smaller ripple current reduces steady state output voltage ripple with the trade off of slower transient response and may increase jitter. The target ripple current must be between 0.6 A and 3 A. Based on the result of Equation 8, a standard inductance value of 1 µH was selected.

Equation 8. TPS54J060

Equation 9 calculates the ripple current with the selected inductance. Equation 10 calculates the peak current in the inductor and the saturation current rating of the inductor must be greater than this. The saturation behavior of the inductor at the peak inductor current at current limit must also be considered when choosing the inductor. Equation 11 calculates the RMS current in the inductor and the heat current rating of the inductor must be greater than this.

Equation 9. TPS54J060
Equation 10. TPS54J060
Equation 11. TPS54J060

The selected inductance is a CMLE063T-1R0. This has a saturation current rating of 14 A, RMS current rating of 16 A and a DCR of 6.5-mΩ max. This inductor was selected for the low DCR to get high efficiency.
