Use Equation 30 to calculate the required buck inductance based on a 30%
inductor ripple current at nominal input voltages.
Equation 30.
Select a standard inductor value of 0.56µH or use
a 0.68µH to account for effective inductance derating. In this example, 0.68µH
is chosen. Use Equation 31 to calculate the peak inductor current at maximum
steady-state input voltage. Subharmonic oscillation occurs with a duty cycle
greater than 50% for peak current-mode control. For design simplification, the
LM25139-Q1 has an internal slope compensation ramp
proportional to the switching frequency that is added to the current sense
signal to damp any tendency toward subharmonic oscillation.
