PRODUCTION DATA.
With output capacitance, it is possible to calculate the charge current during start-up and determine the minimum saturation current rating for the inductor. The start-up charging current is approximated by Equation 9.
SYMBOL | PARAMETER | VALUE | UNIT |
---|---|---|---|
L | Inductance | 400 | nH |
IL(rms) | RMS current (thermal rating) | 10.05 | A |
IL(peak) | Peak current (saturation rating) | 11.8 | A |
A PG0083.401, 400-nH inductor is selected for its small size, low DCR (3.0 mΩ) and high-current handling capability (17-A thermal, 27-A saturation).
