7.13.3
Equation 14
If hard saturation inductors are used, the inductor saturation current should be much greater
than the maximum inductor peak current I
Equation 15
Using soft saturation inductors it's possible to choose inductors with saturation current limit
nearly to Ipeak.
Below there is a list of some inductor manufacturers.
Table 10.
Output capacitor
The selection of the output capacitor is based on the ESR value R
rather than on the capacitor value C
The output capacitor has to satisfy the output voltage ripple requirements. Lower inductor
value can reduce the size of the choke but increases the inductor current ripple ∆I
Since the voltage ripple V
Equation 16
A low ESR capacitor is required to reduce the output voltage ripple. Switching sections can
work correctly even with 20 mV output ripple.
However, to reduce jitter noise between the two switching sections it's preferable to work
with an output voltage ripple greater than 30 mV. If lower output ripple is required, a further
compensation network is needed (see
page 37
Finally the output capacitor choice deeply impacts on the load transient response (see Load
transient response paragraph). Below there is a list of some capacitor manufacturers.
