Inductor Selection

A boost converter normally requires two main passive components for storing energy during the conversion, an inductor and an output capacitor are required. It is advisable to select an inductor with a saturation current rating higher than the possible peak current flowing through the power switches.

The inductor peak current varies as a function of the load, the input and output voltages and is estimated using Equation 7.

Equation 7. IL(PEAK)=VIN×D2×f×L+IOUT1-D×η  with  D=1-VINVOUT

Selecting an inductor with insufficient saturation performance leads to excessive peak current in the converter. This current could eventually harm the device and reduce the reliability of the device.

When selecting the inductor, as well as the inductance, parameters of importance are: maximum current rating, series resistance, and operating temperature. Enable the inductor DC current rating to be greater than the maximum input average current, refer to the Section 7.4.10 section for more details.

Equation 8. ILDC=VOUTVIN×1η×IOUT

The TLV61290 series of step-up converters have been optimized to operate with a effective inductance in the range of 330nH to 560nH. Larger or smaller inductor values are used to optimize the performance of the device for specific operating conditions. For more details, see the Section 8.2.1.2.4 section.

The total losses of the coil consist of both the losses in the DC resistance, R(DC) , and the following frequency-dependent components:

  • The losses in the core material (magnetic hysteresis loss, especially at high switching frequencies)
  • Additional losses in the conductor from the skin effect (current displacement at high frequencies)
  • Magnetic field losses of the neighboring windings (proximity effect)
  • Radiation losses

For good efficiency, enable the inductor DC resistance to be less than 30mΩ. The following inductor series from different suppliers have recommended with the TLV61290 converters.
