Application information



Inductor

The inductor value is very important as it fixes the ripple current flowing through the output

capacitor. The ripple current is usually fixed at 20 - 40% of Iomax, which is 0.3 - 0.6 A with

IOmax = 1.5 A. The approximate inductor value is obtained using the following formula:

Equation 20

where TON is the ON time of the internal switch, given by D · T. For example, with

VOUT = 3.3 V, VIN = 12 V and IO = 0.45 A, the inductor value is about 12 µH. The peak

current through the inductor is given by:

Equation 21

and it can be observed that if the inductor value decreases, the peak current (which must be

lower than the current limit of the device) increases. So, when the peak current is fixed,

a higher inductor value allows a higher value for the output current. In Table 8, some

inductor manufacturers are listed.

Layout considerations

The layout of switching DC-DC converters is very important to minimize noise and

interference. Power-generating portions of the layout are the main cause of noise and so

high switching current loop areas should be kept as small as possible and lead lengths as

short as possible.
