Inductor Selection

For most designs, Low inductance values are physically smaller but require faster

switching, which results in some efficiency loss. The inductor value can be derived from the

following equation:

Where is inductor Ripple Current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small

value inductors result in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current approximately

15% of the maximum input current 1.6A, ΔIL=0.24A.

The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load

current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation (1.6A+0.12A).

Input Capacitor Selection

The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching

noise from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be

less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to

the input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used.

The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input

voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.
