The minimum inductance value, peak current rating,
and series resistance are factors to consider when
selecting the inductor. These factors influence the con-
verter’s efficiency, maximum output load capability,
transient-response time, and output voltage ripple. Size
and cost are also important factors to consider.
The maximum output current, input voltage, output volt-
age, and switching frequency determine the inductor
value. Very high inductance values minimize the cur-
rent ripple and therefore reduce the peak current,
which decreases core losses in the inductor and con-
duction losses in the entire power path. However, large
inductor values also require more energy storage and
more turns of wire, which increases size and can
increase conduction losses in the inductor. Low induc-
tance values decrease the size but increase the current
ripple and peak current. Finding the best inductor
involves choosing the best compromise between circuit
efficiency, inductor size, and cost.
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
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
