PRODUCTION DATA.
Calculate the inductor Volt × microsecond constant, E × T (V × μs), from Equation 11.
For this example, calculate E × T (V × μs) using Equation 12.
Use the E × T value from the previous formula and match it with the E × T number on the vertical axis of the inductor value selection guide shown in Figure 32. For this example, E × T = 185 V × μs.
On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current, ILOAD(Max) = 0.4 A.
Identify the inductance region intersected by the E × T value and the maximum load current value, and note the inductor value for that region, inductance region = 1000.
Select an appropriate inductor from the table shown in Table 3. Part numbers are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor chosen must be rated for operation at the LM2574 switching frequency (52 kHz) and for a current rating of 1.5 × ILOAD. For additional inductor information, see Inductor Selection.
