Application information
Inductor design
The inductance value is defined by a compromise between the dynamic response time, the
efficiency, the cost and the size. The inductor has to be calculated to maintain the ripple

inductor, with V
Increasing the value of the inductance reduces the current ripple but, at the same time,
increases the converter response time to a dynamic load change. The response time is the
time required by the inductor to change its current from initial to final value. Until the inductor
has not finished its charging time, the output current is supplied by the output capacitors.
Minimizing the response time can minimize the output capacitance required. If the
compensation network is well designed, during a load variation the device is able to set a
duty cycle value very different (0 % or 80 %) from steady state one. When this condition is
reached, the response time is limited by the time required to change the inductor current.
