Inductor selection
Since the maximum output current is equal to 14A, to have a 30% ripple (4A) in worst case a 3µH inductor has
been chosen. So the ripple is 4.1A @ 3.5V with VIN=12V and 1.7A @ 3.5V with VIN = 5V.
In worst case the peak is equal to 18.1A.
Output Capacitor
In the demo ten Sanyo capacitors, model 6MV1000GX are used, with a maximum ESR equal to 69mΩ. There-
fore, the resultant ESR is 69mΩ/10 = 1.9mΩ. For a load transient of 14A in worst case the drop results:
∆Vout = 14 * 0.00069 = 96.6mV
The voltage drop due to the capacitor discharge during load transient, considering that the maximum duty cycle
is equal to 100% results in 13mV with 2.5V of programmed output.
Input Capacitor
For IOUT = 14A and D = 0.5 (worst case for input ripple current), Irms is equal to 7A. Five Sanyo electrolytic
capacitors 25MV330GX, with a maximum ESR equal to 69mΩ, are chosen to sustain the ripple. Therefore, the
resultant ESR is equal to 69mΩ/5 = 13.8mΩ. So the losses in worst case are:
P = ESR ⋅ Ir2ms = 670 mW
Over-Current Protection
Substituting the demo board parameters in the relationship reported in the relative section, (IOCSMIN = 170µA;
IP = 19A; RDSONMAX = 9mΩ) it results that ROCS = 1kΩ.
