  Proposal


The values of all input fields can be changed.
The proposed value for L is chosen so that ΔIL=0,4·Iin for >Vin_max.
Tip: The larger the value of L, the smaller ΔIL , however this results in a larger physical size of L.
Tip: The higher the switching frequency f, the smaller the inductor L.
Tip: The lowest value of L is achieved if ΔIL=2·Iin for Vin_min.
Tip: The higher the frequency  f and the smaller the inductor L, the higher the transistor losses.
