8.2.2.2.1 Buck Inductor Selection

Use Equation 41 to calculate the required buck inductance based on a 40% inductor ripple current specification at nominal input voltage. Select a standard value for LO of 6.8µH.

Equation 41. L O = V O U T F S W × ∆ I L O × 1 - V O U T V I N ( n o m ) = 12 V 400 k H z × 3.2 A × 1 - 12 V 48 V = 7 μ H
