Figure 26. Output Ripple Current
The inductance significantly depends on output ripple current.
As shown in equation (1), the ripple current decreases as the
inductor and/or switching frequency increases.

ΔIL is the Output ripple current, and
f is the Switching frequency
Note: Current exceeding the current rating of the inductor results in magnetic saturation of the inductor, which decreases
efficiency.
The inductor must be selected allowing sufficient margin with which the peak current may not exceed its current
rating.
If VCC=5V, VOUT=1.5V, f=1MHz, ∆IL=0.3A x 0.8A=0.24A, for example,

Note: Select an inductor with low resistance component (such as DCR and ACR) to minimize dissipation in the inductor
for better efficiency.
(2) Selection of Output Capacitor (CO)
VCC
Output capacitor should be selected with the consideration on the stability
region and the equivalent series resistance required to minimize ripple voltage.
Output ripple voltage is determined by the equation (4)

ΔIL is the Output ripple current, and

Figure 27. Output Capacitor
Note: Rating of the capacitor should be determined allowing sufficient margin
against output voltage. Less ESR allows reduction in output ripple voltage.
Since output rise time is designed to fall within the soft-start time, the capacitance of output capacitor should be
determined by the requirements of equation (5):

Rating of the capacitor should be determined to allow a sufficient margin against output voltage. A 10μF to 100μF
ceramic capacitor is recommended.
