The inductor is selected to meet the
recommended peak-to-peak voltage ripple, ΔV(CSP-CSN) of 20 mV:
Equation 35.
The closest standard capacitor is 3.3
µH.
- Lower inductor values increase
the peak-to-peak inductor current, which minimizes size and cost at the expense
of reduced efficiency and larger output capacitor.
- Higher inductance values decrease
the peak-to-peak inductor current, which increases efficiency but reduces the
operating range based on minimum sense voltage ripple, ΔV(CSP-CSN)
specification.
