measure of the energy handling capability of an inductor and
is dependent upon the type of core, the core area, the
number of turns, and the duty cycle.

select an appropriate inductor from Table 2.
The inductor chosen must be rated for a switching
frequency of 52 kHz and for a current rating of 1.15 x I Load .
The inductor current rating can also be determined by
calculating the inductor peak current :
where t on is the “on” time of the power switch and

with voltage mode control, its open loop 2–pole–1–zero
frequency characteristic has the dominant pole–pair
determined by the output capacitor and inductor values.
For stable operation, the capacitor must satisfy the
following requirement:
the loop requirements for stable operation. To achieve an
acceptable output ripple voltage and transient response, the
output capacitor may need to be several times larger than
the above formula yields.

numbers, the output capacitor’s voltage rating should be at
least 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 5.0 V
regulator, a rating of at least 8.0 V is appropriate, and a 10 V
or 16 V rating is recommended.
