8 Application Information
Inductor Selection
The control circuitry of the AS1320 permits a wide range of inductor values to be selected – from 4.7 to 47µH; 10µH is
ideal for most applications.
The intended application should dictate the value of L. The trade-off between required PCB surface area and desired
output ripple are the determining factors: smaller values for L require less PCB space, larger values of L reduce output
ripple. If the value of L is large enough to prevent I
power will be reduced.
For maximum output current calculate the value for L as:

PC Board Layout and Grounding
Well-designed printed circuit-board layout is important for minimizing ground bounce and noise.
