PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS62147, TPS62148 are designed for a nominal 1-µH inductor if FSEL = high and a 1.5-uH or 2.2-uH inductor if FSEL = low. Larger values can be used to achieve a lower inductor current ripple but they can have a negative impact on efficiency and transient response. Smaller values than 1 µH cause a larger inductor current ripple which causes larger negative inductor current in forced PWM mode at low or no output current. Therefore they are not recommended at large voltages across the inductor as it is the case for high input voltages and low output voltages. With low output current in forced PWM mode this causes a larger negative inductor current peak which can exceed the negative current limit.
The inductor selection is affected by several effects like inductor ripple current, output ripple voltage, PWM-to-PFM transition point and efficiency. In addition, the inductor selected has to be rated for appropriate saturation current and dc resistance (DCR). Equation 11 calculates the maximum inductor current.
where
Above equation is valid for FSEL = high. With FSEL = low, the ON-time is doubled from 100 ns to 200 ns so the peak inductor current doubles given the same input voltage and inductor.
Calculating the maximum inductor current using the actual operating conditions gives the minimum saturation current of the inductor needed. A margin of about 20% is recommended to add. A larger inductor value is also useful to get lower ripple current, but increases the transient response time and size as well. The following inductors have been used with the TPS62147, TPS62148 and are recommended for use:
