8.2.2.1.2 Inductor Selection

The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. A higher inductor ripple current means the output capacitor should have a ripple current rating higher than the inductor ripple current. See Table 3 for recommended inductor values.

The RMS and peak currents through the inductor can be calculated using Equation 5 and Equation 6. It is important that the inductor is rated to handle these currents.

Equation 6. TPS568230 EQ6.gif

During transient and short-circuit conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the current limit of the device so it is safe to choose an inductor with a saturation current higher than the peak current under current limit condition.
