Figure 31. Schematic for Design Example
This section describes the procedures for selecting the external
components based on the example specifications listed in Table 7.
See Figure 31 for the schematic of this design example.
This calculation results in L = 0.422 µH. Choose the standard
inductor value of 0.47 µH.
The peak-to-peak inductor ripple current can be calculated by
using the following equation:

Choose a 10 kΩ resistor as the top feedback resistor (RTOP
)
and calculate the bottom feedback resistor (RBOT) by using the
following equation:

This calculation results in IRMS = 6.018 A.
To set the output voltage to 1.2 V, the resistor values are as
follows: RTOP = 10 kΩ and RBOT = 10 kΩ.
Based on the calculated current value, select an inductor with
a minimum rms current rating of 6.03 A and a minimum
saturation current rating of 6.9 A.
FREQUENCY SETTING
To use the fixed 1.2 MHz switching frequency, connect the RT
pin to the VREG pin.
However, to protect the inductor from reaching its saturation
point under the current-limit condition, use an inductor that is
rated for at least a 9 A saturation current for reliable operation.
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, ∆IL, is set to 30% of
the maximum output current. Use the following equation to
estimate the inductor value:
Based on the requirements described previously, select a 0.47 µH
inductor, such as the 744314047 from Würth, which has a 1.35 mΩ
DCR and a 20 A saturation current.
