The inductor value fixes the ripple current flowing through output capacitor and switching
peak current. The ripple current should be kept in the range of 20 - 40% of I

The inductor peak current must be designed so that it does not exceed the switching current
limit.
Inductor (0.8 V < V
For applications with lower output voltage levels (V
previous section is still valid but it is recommended to keep the inductor values in a range
from 1 µH to 2.2 µH in order to improve the DC-DC control loop behavior, and increase the
output capacitance depending on the V
most application conditions a 2.2 µH inductor is the best compromise between DC-DC
control loop behavior and output voltage ripple.
Function operation
Sync operation
The ST1S10 operates at a fixed frequency or can be synchronized to an external frequency
with the SYNC pin. The ST1S10 switches at a frequency of 900 kHz when the SYNC pin is
connected to ground, and can synchronize the switching frequency between 400 kHz to 1.2
MHz from an external clock applied to the SYNC pin. When the SYNC feature is not used,
this pin must be connected to ground with a path as short as possible to avoid any possible
noise injected in the SYNC internal circuitry.
