PRODUCTION DATA
Synchronous buck power inductors are typically sized for approximately 20-40% peak-to-peak ripple current (IRIPPLE) Given this target ripple current, the required inductor size can be calculated in Equation 21.
Selecting a standard 8.2 µH inductor value, solving for IRIPPLE = 1.86 A.
The RMS current through the inductor is approximated by Equation 22.
