importance, the subsequent suggestions in Peak Induc-
tor and Fault Current and EMI will additionally help in the
selection of the inductor value.
Peak-to-peak output ripple voltage is the sum of a triwave
(created by peak-to-peak ripple current (I
and a square wave (created by parasitic inductance (ESL)
and ripple current slew rate). Capacitive reactance is
assumed to be small compared to ESR or ESL.
where:
Peak-to-peak ripple current (I
and into the output capacitor is typically chosen to be
between 20% and 40% of the maximum load current. It is
approximated by:
Example: with V
0.080
approximated as follows:
To reduce output ripple voltage further requires an in-
crease in the inductor value with the trade-off being a
physically larger inductor with the possibility of increased
component height and cost.

Ceramic Output Capacitor
An alternative way to further reduce output ripple voltage
is to reduce the ESR of the output capacitor by using a
ceramic capacitor. Although this reduction of ESR re-
moves a useful zero in the overall loop response, this zero
can be replaced by inserting a resistor (R

Peak Inductor Current and Fault Current
To ensure that the inductor will not saturate, the peak
inductor current should be calculated knowing the maxi-
mum load current. An appropriate inductor should then
be chosen. In addition, a decision should be made whether
or not the inductor must withstand continuous fault
conditions.
If maximum load current is 1A, for instance, a 1A inductor
may not survive a continuous 4A overload condition. Dead
shorts will actually be more gentle on the inductor because
the LT3430 has frequency and current limit foldback.
Peak switch and inductor current can be significantly
higher than output current, especially with smaller induc-
