PRODUCTION DATA
The inductor selection is affected by several parameters such as inductor-ripple current, output-voltage ripple, transition point into power save mode, and efficiency. See Table 8-4 for typical inductors.

In addition, the inductor must be rated for the appropriate saturation current and DC resistance (DCR). The inductor must be rated for a saturation current as high as the typical switch current limit, of 4.6 A or according to Equation 5 and Equation 6. Equation 5 and Equation 6 calculate the maximum inductor current under static load conditions. The formula takes the converter efficiency into account. The converter efficiency is taken from the Section 6.6 graphs or 80% can be used as a conservative approach. The calculation must be done for the maximum input voltage where the peak switch current is highest.

Calculating the maximum inductor current using the actual operating conditions gives the minimum saturation current. A margin of 20% must be added to cover for load transients during operation.
