PRODUCTION DATA
TPS6287x devices are optimized for inductors in the range 50nH to 300nH. If the transient response of the converter is limited by the slew rate of the current in the inductor, using a smaller inductor can improve performance. However, the output ripple current increases as the value of the inductor decreases, and higher output current ripple generates higher output voltage ripple, which adds to the transient overshoot or undershoot. The optimal configuration for a given application is always a trade-off between a number of parameters. TI recommends a starting value of 110nH for typical applications.
The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is given by:
Table 9-4 lists a number of inductors designed for use with this application. This list is not exhaustive and other inductors from other manufacturers can also be an excellent choice.
