frequency. The ratio of high side switch on time to the
switching period is called duty ratio (D). Duty ratio can also

Inductor Selection
rule of thumb for the design where the percentage of ripple
current in the inductor should be between 10% and 40%.
When using ceramic output capacitors, the ripple current can
be greater because the ESR of the output capacitor is smaller,
thus a user might select a higher ripple current. However,
when using electrolytic capacitors, a lower ripple current
will result in lower output ripple due to the higher ESR of
electrolytic capacitors. The ratio of ripple current to
maximum output current is given in Equation 5.
