Calculate the ripple current at that operating point and
the peak current required for the inductor:
When DCM operating mode is chosen to minimize the
inductor value, the calculations are different from those
above in CCM mode. The maximum inductor value for
DCM mode is calculated with the following equation:
The peak inductor current in DCM is calculated with the
following equation:

A 10FH inductor is chosen, which is higher than the mini-
mum L that guarantees stability in CCM.
The peak inductor current at minimum input voltage is
calculated as follows:
Alternatively, choose a DCM operating mode by using
lower inductance and estimating efficiency of 85% at this
operating point. Since DCM has higher peak inductor
current at lower input, it causes current limit when the
parameters are not chosen properly. Considering the
case with six 10-LED strings and 20mA LED full-scale
current to prevent excessive switch current from causing
current limit:
A 3.3FH inductor is chosen. The peak inductor current at
minimum input voltage is calculated as follows:
The total output voltage ripple has two components: the
capacitive ripple caused by the charging and discharg-
ing on the output capacitor, and the ohmic ripple due to
the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR):
and:

The output voltage ripple should be low enough for the

be less than 200mV
