8.2.1.2.2 Output Inductor

The inductor value is determined based on the operating frequency, load current, ripple current, and the input and output voltages.

LM25119 30126215.gifFigure 15. Inductor Current

Knowing the switching frequency, maximum ripple current (IPP), maximum input voltage and the nominal output voltage (VOUT), the inductor value is calculated with Equation 8.

Equation 8. LM25119 30126229.gif

The maximum ripple current occurs at the maximum input voltage. Typically, IPP is 20% to 40% of the full load current. When operating in the diode emulation mode configuration, the maximum ripple current must be less than twice the minimum load current. For full synchronous operation, higher ripple current is acceptable. Higher ripple current allows for a smaller inductor size, but places more of a burden on the output capacitor to smooth the ripple current. For this example in Equation 9, a ripple current of 25% of 8 A was chosen as a compromise for the 1.8-V output.

Equation 9. LM25119 30126230.gif

The nearest standard value of 6.8 μH was chosen for L. Using the value of 6.8 µH for L in Equation 10 and the example (Equation 11), calculate IPP again. This step is necessary if the chosen value of L differs significantly from the calculated value.
