●Selection of Part for Applications
(1) Inductor
A shielded inductor that satisfies the current rating
(current value, Ipecac as shown in the drawing below)
and has a low DCR (direct resistance component) is recommended.
Inductor values affect inductor ripple current, which will cause output ripple.
Ripple current can be reduced as the coil L value becomes larger and the
switching frequency becomes higher.
Ipeak =Iout ×(Vout/VIN) /η+ ∆IL/2 [A]

As a guide, inductor ripple current should be set at about 20 to 50% of the maximum input current.
* Current over the coil rating flowing in the coil brings the coil into magnetic saturation, which may lead to lower efficiency
or output oscillation. Select an inductor with an adequate margin so that the peak current does not exceed the rated
current of the coil.
(2) Output capacitor
A ceramic capacitor with low ESR is recommended for output in order to reduce output ripple.
There must be an adequate margin between the maximum rating and output voltage of the capacitor, taking the DC bias
property into consideration.
Output ripple voltage is obtained by the following equation.
Vout-Vin
Vpp=Iout ×
f×Co×Vout
+ Iout × RESR [V] … (3)
Setting must be performed so that output ripple is within the allowable ripple voltage.
(3) Output voltage setting
The internal reference voltage of the ERROR AMP is 1.0 V. Output voltage is obtained by Equation (4) of Fig. 33, but it
should be designed taking about 50 Ω, an error of NMOS ON resistance of SWOUT into consideration.
