7.2.1.2.3.1 Inductor Selection

To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 4:

Equation 4. TPS5410-Q1

KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. Three things need to be considered when determining the amount of ripple current in the inductor: the peak to peak ripple current affects the output ripple voltage amplitude, the ripple current affects the peak switch current, and the amount of ripple current determines at what point the circuit becomes discontinuous. For designs using the TPS5410-Q1, KIND of 0.2 to 0.3 yields good results. Low output ripple voltages is obtained when paired with the proper output capacitor, the peak switch current is below the current limit set point, and low load currents can be sourced before discontinuous operation.

For this design example, use KIND = 0.3, and the minimum inductor value is 66μH. The next highest standard value used in this design is 68μH.

For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS inductor current can be found from Equation 5:

Equation 5. TPS5410-Q1

and the peak inductor current can be determined using Equation 6:

Equation 6. TPS5410-Q1

For this design, the RMS inductor current is 1.004A, and the peak inductor current is 1.147A. The chosen inductor is a Coilcraft MSS1260-683 type. The nominal inductance is 68μH. It has a saturation current rating of 2.3A and a RMS current rating of 2.3A, which meets the requirements. Inductor values for use with the TPS5410-Q1 are in the range of 10μH to 100μH.
