SNVSAB6B March 2017 – July 2018 LP8863-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
There are a few things to consider when choosing an inductor: inductance, current rating, and DC resistance (DCR). Table 50 shows recommended inductor values for each operating frequency. The LP8863-Q1 device automatically sets internal boost compensation controls depending on the selected switching frequency.
SW FREQUENCY (kHz) | INDUCTANCE (µH) |
---|---|
300 | 22 |
400 | 22 |
600 | 15 |
800 | 15 |
1000 | 10 |
1250 | 10 |
1667 | 10 |
2200 | 10 |
The current rating of inductor must be at least 25% higher than maximum boost switching current ISW(max), which can be calculated with Equation 12. TI recommends a current rating of 12 A for most applications; use an inductor with low DCR to achieve good efficiency. Efficiency varies with load condition, switching frequency, and components, but 80% can be use as safe estimation.
