  • Vin_max = 55V, Vout = 5V, Iout= 5A, Kind = ΔIL/Iout = 0.3 (recommended by datasheet), and fsw= 400kHz

  • Using the equation above, Lmin = 7.6uH. Choose the next standard value of 8.2uH. The saturation current of the inductor should be greater than the switch current limit of 7.5A

  • Vin = 55V, Vout = 12V, fsw= 400kHz, Iout = 2A

  • K = ΔIL/Iout, choose k=0.4

  • Using the above equation, L = 29.3uH

  • Choose closest standard value, 33uH

  • Inductor saturation current should be >= Isc , the high side switch current limit of 3.2A, to avoid component damage due to high current when the inductor saturates

Justification: Slightly smaller, cheaper, higher current and saturation current ratings.

Output Capacitor

  • Output capacitor allows for the load to be powered during the off state of the transistor and accounts for load transients

  • Voltage rating should be 2-3x the output voltage to account for voltage spikes

  • The datasheet recommends 22uF for a 12V output

  • Use 3x 22uF to account for DC bias at 12V
