TIDA-010932 also features a backlight LED driver (Figure 2-12) which can be used to drive backlight LEDs on displays for thermostats, and so forth. If not needed, this device can be disabled by depopulating R39.
For the inductor selection, there are three important inductor specifications, inductor value, DC resistance, and saturation current. Considering inductor value alone is not enough. The inductor value determines the inductor ripple current. Choose an inductor that can handle the necessary peak current without saturating. Follow Equation 23 and Equation 24 to calculate the peak current of the inductor. To calculate the current in the worst case, use the minimum input voltage, maximum output voltage, and maximum load current of the application. In a boost regulator, the input DC current can be calculated as Equation 22:
where
The inductor current peak to peak ripple can be calculated as Equation 23.
where
Therefore, the peak current IL(P) seen by the inductor is calculated with Equation 24.
For output capacitor selection, the voltage ripple is related to capacitor capacitance and the equivalent series resistance (ESR). The additional part of the ripple caused by ESR is calculated using: Vripple_ESR = IOUT × RESR. Due to the low ESR, Vripple_ESR can be neglected for ceramic capacitors, a 1-μF to 4.7-μF capacitor is recommended for typical applications, in this design a 1-μF output capacitor is chosen.
