Eff = 90% (worst-case in these conditions)

Equation 2

Then, in this example, an inductor with saturation current > 1.52 A should be recommended.

Several inductors suitable for the LNBH24L are listed in Table 5, although there are many

other manufacturers and devices that can be used. Consult each manufacturer for more

detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts, as many different shapes

and sizes are available. Ferrite core inductors should be used to obtain the best efficiency.

that the inductor has a low DCR (copper wire resistance) to minimize power losses and,

consequently, to maximize the total efficiency.

Output current limit selection (R2-RSEL)

The linear regulator current limit threshold can be set through an external resistor connected
