Application details
Inductor design
The inductance value is defined by a compromise between the transient response time, the
efficiency, the cost and the size. The inductor has to be calculated to maintain the ripple

voltage.
inductor, with V
Increasing the value of the inductance reduces the current ripple but, at the same time,
increases the converter response time to a load transient. If the compensation network is
well designed, during a load transient the device is able to set the duty cycle to 100% or to
0%. When one of these conditions is reached, the response time is limited by the time
required to change the inductor current. During this time the output current is supplied by
the output capacitors. Minimizing the response time can minimize the output capacitor size.
