Inductor selection

The inductor current ripple flowing into the output capacitor determines the output voltage ripple (please refer to

Output capacitor selection). Usually the inductor value is selected in order to keep the current ripple lower than

20% - 40% of the output current over the input voltage range. The inductance value can be calculated by equation

below:

ΔIL=VIN−VOUT

L ⋅TON=VOUTL⋅TOFF

(49)

Where TON and TOFF are the on and off time of the internal power switch. The maximum current ripple, at fixed

VOUT, is obtained at maximum TOFF that is at minimum duty cycle (see Input capacitor selection to calculate

minimum duty). So fixing ΔIL = 20% to 40% of the maximum output current, the minimum inductance value can be

calculated:

LMIN= VOUT

ΔILMAX⋅1−DMIN

fSW

(50)

where fSW is the switching frequency 1/(TON + TOFF).

For example for VOUT = 3.3 V, VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 2 A and FSW = 500 kHz the minimum inductance value to have

ΔIL = 30% of IOUT is about 8.2 µH.

The peak current through the inductor is given by:

IL,PK=IOUT+ΔIL2

(51)

So if the inductor value decreases, the peak current (that has to be lower than the current limit of the device)

increases. The higher is the inductor value, the higher is the average output current that can be delivered, without

reaching the current limit.

In the table below, some inductor part numbers are listed.

Output capacitor selection

The triangular shape current ripple (with zero average value) flowing into the output capacitor gives the output

voltage ripple, that depends on the capacitor value and the equivalent resistive component (ESR). As a

consequence the output capacitor has to be selected in order to have a voltage ripple compliant with the

application requirements.

The voltage ripple equation can be calculated as:

ΔVOUT=ESR⋅ΔILMAX+ ΔILMAX

8⋅COUT⋅fSW

(52)

Usually the resistive component of the ripple can be neglected if the selected output capacitor is a multi layer

ceramic capacitor (MLCC).

The output capacitor is important also for loop stability: it determines the main pole and the zero due to its ESR.

(See Closing the loop to consider its effect in the system stability).
