The equations used here include a constant LIR, which
is the ratio of the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current
to the average DC inductor current at the full load cur-
rent. The best trade-off between inductor size and cir-
cuit efficiency for step-up regulators generally has an
LIR between 0.3 and 0.5. However, depending on the
AC characteristics of the inductor core material and the
ratio of inductor resistance to other power path resis-
tances, the best LIR can shift up or down. If the induc-
tor resistance is relatively high, more ripple can be
accepted to reduce the number of turns required and
increase the wire diameter. If the inductor resistance is
relatively low, increasing inductance to lower the peak
current can decrease losses throughout the power
path. If extremely thin high-resistance inductors are
used, as is common for LCD panel applications, the
best LIR can increase to between 0.5 and 1.0.
Once a physical inductor is chosen, higher and lower
values of the inductor should be evaluated for efficien-
cy improvements in typical operating regions.
Calculate the approximate inductor value using the typ-
ical input voltage (V

Characteristics, and an estimate of LIR based on the
above discussion:

inductor family. Calculate the maximum DC input cur-
rent at the minimum input voltage V

The ripple current and the peak current are:
The total output voltage ripple has two components: the
capacitive ripple caused by the charging and discharg-
ing of the output capacitance, and the ohmic ripple due
to the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR):
