Proposal
The values of all input fields can be changed.
The proposed value for
L
is chosen so that
ΔI
L
=0,4·I
out
for
>V
in_max
.
Tip:
The larger the value
L
, the smaller
ΔI
L
, 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 the converter works at the border between continuous and discontinuous mode for
V
in_min
.
Tip:
The higher the frequency
f
and the smaller the inductor
L
, the higher the transistor losses.
