7.2.2.4 L1- Inductor

The inductor value is determined based on the operating frequency, load current, ripple current, and the minimum and maximum input voltage (VIN(min), VIN(max)).

LM5574-Q1 Inductor Current WaveformFigure 7-4 Inductor Current Waveform

To keep the circuit in continuous conduction mode (CCM), the maximum ripple current IRIPPLE must be less than twice the minimum load current, or 0.2 Ap-p. With this value of ripple current, use Equation 8 and Equation 9 to calculate the value of inductor (L1).

Equation 8. LM5574-Q1
Equation 9. LM5574-Q1

This procedure provides a guide to select the value of L1. The nearest standard value (100µH) is used. L1 must be rated for the peak current (IPK+) to prevent saturation. During normal loading conditions, the peak current occurs at maximum load current plus maximum ripple. During an overload condition the peak current is limited to 0.7A nominal (0.85A maximum). The selected inductor has a conservative 1.0-Amp saturation current rating. For this manufacturer, the saturation rating is defined as the current necessary for the inductance to reduce by 30%, at 20°C.
