7.2.2.3 Inductor (LF)

The inductance is based on:

  • Switching frequency
  • Load current
  • Inductor ripple current
  • Minimum input voltage designated as VIN(min)
  • Maximum input voltages designated as VIN(max)
LM5005 Inductor Current WaveformFigure 7-5 Inductor Current Waveform

To keep the converter operating in CCM, verify that the maximum inductor ripple current ΔIL is less than twice the minimum load current, or 0.5A peak-to-peak. Using this value of ripple current, calculate the inductance using Equation 9.

Equation 9. L F = V O U T × V I N m a x - V O U T ∆ I L × F S W × V I N m a x = 5 V × 75 V - 5 V 0.5 A × 300 k H z × 75 V = 31 μ H

Use the nearest standard value of 33µH. An alternative method is to choose an inductance that gives an inductor ripple current of 30% to 50% of the rated full load current at the nominal input voltage.

Note that the inductor must be rated for the peak inductor current, denoted as IPEAK in Figure 7-5, to prevent saturation. During normal loading conditions, the peak inductor current corresponds to maximum load current plus half the maximum peak-to-peak ripple current. The peak inductor current during an overload condition is limited to 3.5A nominal (4.25A maximum). The selected inductor in this design example (see Table 7-1) has a conservative 6.2A saturation current rating. The saturation current is defined by this inductor manufacturer as the current required for the inductance to reduce by 30% at 20°C.
