Picking an inductor value of 47 H with 0.2 DCR results
in a peak switch current of
Substituting I
Since 17.5 J > 13.7 J, the 47 H inductor will work. This
trial-and-error approach can be used to select the opti-
mum inductor. Keep in mind the switch current maximum
rating of 1.5A. If the calculated peak current exceeds this,
an external power transistor can be used.
A resistor can be added in series with the I
switch current limit. The resistor should be picked such
that the calculated I
Maximum Switch Current (from Typical Performance
Characteristic curves). Then, as V
current is held constant, resulting in increasing efficiency.
Inductor Selection — Step-Down Converter
The step-down case (Figure 5) differs from the step-up in
that the inductor current flows through the load during
both the charge and discharge periods of the inductor.
Current through the switch should be limited to ~800mA
in this mode. Higher current can be obtained by using an
external switch (see Figure 6). The I
successful operation over varying inputs.
After establishing output voltage, output current and input
voltage range, peak switch current can be calculated by the
formula
where DC = duty cycle (0.69)

Inductor Selection — Positive-to-Negative Converter
Figure 7 shows hookup for positive-to-negative conver-
sion. All of the output power must come from the inductor.

In this mode the switch is arranged in common collector

a 0.75V source in series with a 0.65 resistor. When the
